I am trying to install Docker Desktop to my Windows 10 Professional Build 19042 and receive an installation error even when trying to install as 'Administrator'.
Error: Component CommunityInstaller.ServiceAction failed: Failed to start service: Access is denied ...it is not clear to me what specifically Docker cannot access.
Curious to see if anyone has a solution to this issue.
You may need to add your account to the "docker-users" group. See
https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/785, especially nfunky response on Aug 10, 2020. I used the following command and it resolved that problem for me where "username" is your Windows username:
net localgroup "docker-users" "username" /add
According to the documentation, first you should control the requirements based on your operating system. Next, uninstall the older versions. For example if you are using windows OS, look at this picture
and make sure these items are active in advance.
plus, make sure Hyper-V is installed and working (check the link above).
Finally, if you have this error message while opening the docker desktop:
You are not allowed to use Docker. You must be in the “docker-users” group
you should add your user to docker-users named group created under Computer Management/user and groups/groups. look at this link

So I made sure by installing a fresh windows install to make sure that it really is Docker.
As you install WSL2 you can access the OS's files through Windows explorer as seen:
accessing WSL
As I install Docker Desktop my access to the WSL folder is denied as seen:
docker denying access
I am able to access the folder through using the address: \\wsl.localhost\ubuntu but not just \\wsl.localhost
Is there any way to allow access to \\wsl.localhost again?
edit:
I found a workaround, sadly microsoft is just stupid again.
The address now is \\wsl$ probably because of an update.
I had to go into regedit:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID{B2B4A4D1-2754-4140-A2EB-9A76D9D7CDC6}\Instance\InitPropertyBag
And change the ResName from \\wsl.localhost to \\wsl$
For that i had to take full ownership of the {B2B4A4D1-2754-4140-A2EB-9A76D9D7CDC6} folder and give me full access rights so i could change ResName. Now it's working fine.
I'm trying to setup docker with WSL 2 to run a Dockerfile. I downloaded Docker Desktop, and when I tried to follow the quick start guide, I got the following error:
docker: error during connect: This error may indicate that the docker daemon is not running.: Post "http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%d2Fdocker_engine/v1.24/containers/create?name=repo": open //./pipe/docker_enginer: The system cannot find the file specified.
I set com.docker.service to run in the Task Manager, and have run:
“c:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe” -SwitchDaemon
I have also quit Docker Desktop and reopened it in admin mode, and I still get the message that Docker Desktop has stopped.
Please let me know if there's any other options, thanks!
I managed to solve the problem in this way:
delete config file AppData/Roaming/Docker/settings.json
start Docker Desktop (it will create new default settings.json)
You need to re-configure settings, so it is also good idea to save the old settings.json and compare settings with the new one.
If you are running Docker Desktop for Windows 4.5.0 then you should be aware of an existing issue where the default backend selected after installing is not the correct one.
You can switch to the correct backend manually by editing the file located at: %AppData%\Docker\settings.json (full path: C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\Docker\settings.json) and at the bottom of the file change the value for the wslEngineEnabled field to true. After that Docker Desktop should start correctly.
Similar issue and solution is mentioned here by the user mccaa25.
latest version 4.5.0 It won't work for me too, for me downgrade to 4.4.4 it worked. It may be problem with the latest version
for released note and older version Here
Note: You can install an older version and update to latest version 4.5.0
Wow! I spent multiple days trying to get Docker for windows 11 to work. What finally did it was downgrading to version 4.4.4 as #GinglrBell recommended. Here's a link Docker version 4.4.4.
Make sure WSL is installed and virtualization is enabled. If you try to open WSL and you get an error telling you to enable virtualization in BIOS, run this command as Admin in powershell: bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto (Docker src). Then restart your PC.
I hit this issue today, and the steps below are what worked for me - the gist is that I needed to install WSL 2 beforehand. Most of my steps were derived from here:
open powershell as admin
wsl -l -v # Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions
install linux kernel update from here # in my case, x64-based
wsl --set-default-version 2
wsl --list --online # shows several linux distributions, I picked a recent one
wsl --install -d Ubuntu-20.04 # then create default linux user name and password
install windows docker desktop from here # now starts successfully
Manged to switch to Windows Containers. (Docker v4.9.0)
What I did was to change the following in the settings.json:
"useWindowsContainers": true,
"wslEngineEnabled": true,
Also set security on folder:
C:\ProgramData\Docker (I set "Everyone" full control.)
After that I used the "Switch to Windows Containers"-feature from the task-bar icon content menu
I tried Janne Rantala's method.
But the same problem occurs again after several days.
My final solution is to uninstall Docker Desktop, then download and run the installation file as an administrator.
Then the problem no longer appears again.
I was able to resolve this issue on my machine by installing the Linux kernel update package as described in the Microsoft guide
I have been having some Docker setting up troubles for a fair amount of time. I think I had to just make sure I removed all references of Docker. After buying Windows 10 pro I still had issues, I did have to look into the following folders:
C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Local\Temp\Docker
C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\Docker
I also deleted the Docker file in my programfiles folder
Navigated to said file and deleted Docker files.
Used the docker installer, checkboxes (to use wsl2).
I was faicing the same issue and resolved. I have just open Microsoft Store application and after that opened the docker and its working fine. This is wired but sharing this so it might helps someone.
I solved this issue by enabling the windows feature "Windows Hypervisor Platform" and restarting my computer.
I installed Docker Desktop v4.16.2
I know I need admin rights to install Docker Desktop; but do I have to be an admin to run it? The documentation doesn't say that I do, and Googling doesn't suggest that either; but if I try to run it as a non-privileged user, the process is killed instantly and I get an event-log entry saying "Process requires elevated rights to run."
I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise in a corporate environment and we have non-privileged accounts. Is Docker Desktop not available in this situation or have I just installed it incorrectly somehow?
As of Docker Desktop 2.4 (possibly earlier, I haven't tested) this is supported. From the Windows installation instructions:
If your admin account is different to your user account, you must add the user to the docker-users group. Run Computer Management as an administrator and navigate to Local Users and Groups > Groups > docker-users. Right-click to add the user to the group. Log out and log back in for the changes to take effect.
I have not tested it, but this article seems to indicate that you can.
TLDR;
Problem
The reason for requiring an admin session is that the Docker client in the default configuration uses a named pipe to connect to the Docker engine and that named pipe can only be accessed by administrators
Solution
To avoid this, you can simple allow your user FullControl access to that named pipe
Original author also provides a powershell tool with sources to help perform this admin task.
The answer appears to be "no". I couldn't understand how everyone else at work had avoided this problem; but then learnt that they had asked for admin rights over their local machines and been granted them! I've only been here for two and a half years ... :|
Latest version of Docker desktop allows this, but the user should be in docker-users group.
If you are using Windows 10 Home edition, then adding multiple groups to a normal users will be a pain, even you use 'netplwiz'.
To add a new group to user you can use the below command in Powershell.
Run the powershell as admin, then execute
net localgroup "docker-users" "<user_name>" /add
I am able to run Docker Desktop from a non-administrator account on my Windows 10 machine. I can also issue docker commands from a non-elevated command prompt or PowerShell prompt. Note that my non-administrator account is a member of the local group docker-users.
Initially, I installed it from my administrator account, and things worked as expected, but only if I stayed logged in as administrator. If I wasn't logged in as administrator, I would get the named pipe error that aboellinger described in his answer.
Simply launching C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Docker Desktop.exe from my non-administrator account fixed the issue (after waiting a few seconds for the process to start). It didn't even ask to elevate permissions.
The addition of my user account to group docker-users solved my problem. However, since I'm not running Win10 Pro, the GUI access to account control is not available. Instead I ran PowerShell as admin and added my user account to group docker-users there.
Docker is insecure by design, if a user can run docker command without admin rights (.i.e. belongs to docker group) this basically means that this user can escape the container and become admin on the host. No idea how exactly it can be done on Windows but it "just works" on Linux.
What is the Docker security risk of /var/run/docker.sock?
I'm running CentOS 7 in a Google Compute Engine VM, and trying to connect to it via Chrome Remote Desktop. When I run the start-host command, it fails with "OAuth error" and no more information.
I accessed the https://remotedesktop.google.com/headless site with Chrome, filled out the choices, and went through the authorization phase. There was not an option for CentOS, so I chose "Debian" and when it gave me the connect command, I replaced the path to start-host with the CentOS one of /usr/lib64/chrome-remote-desktop/start-host, and running the resulting command fails.
I did the likely web searches and found some fairly old and unhelpful information, but nothing useful.
If I can't get Chrome Remote Desktop working, I'd be willing to try another method to run GUI-based applications (in this case, IBM's oneWEX). I can get X11 to sort-of work remotely, but not well enough to run oneWEX.
This is the command I got from the Chrome site, modified to work with CentOS:
DISPLAY= /usr/lib64/chrome-remote-desktop/start-host --code="<code>" --redirect-url="https://remotedesktop.google.com/_/oauthredirect" --name=
The start-host command asked the expected questions of the computer name and PIN, then gave the error:
Couldn't start host: OAuth error.
When you get the code from https://remotedesktop.google.com/headless it is only good for a few minutes, and only one time use.
Just go back to https://remotedesktop.google.com/headless follow the prompts and get a new code for every attempt.
In my case, I got another error when I first ran the command. I tried to resolve it, and reran the same command (with the original code). I kept getting the "Couldn't start host: OAuth error." until I figured out I needed to get a new code from https://remotedesktop.google.com/headless for each attempt.
FYI: The error message is not given right away, but after entering the computer name and double entering the pin.
According to https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1039016, this could apparently also happen if the /usr/lib64/chrome-remote-desktop/start-host binary is not one from the "official" DEBian package built and distributed by Google, but one built from source e.g. by yourself or your Linux distribution (such as the chrome-remote-desktop package built by Fedora; https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1788448 aims to clarify how to use that one).
What I can see here is that you previously added some libraries to your CentOS instance, I tried replicating the error myself and inside my CentOS 7 instance (from Compute Engine) I don't seem to have any /usr/lib64/chrome-remote-desktop/ folder.
Or is it from your local machine?
I had the same error and found that refreshing the headless page to get a new code string in the command worked.
I have been trying to install Docker for windows in Windows 10 pro edition but I am getting always error in cmd or powershell when I type docker info I am getting result like this
error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.26/info: open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified. In the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run elevated to connect. This error may also indicate that the docker daemon is not running.
I have installed using InstallDocker.msi file but not able to fix this issue. I dont have any VM or Virtual Box running and I have make sure that Hyper-V and Virtualisation has been enabled in my PC. Please help me in this issue.
Thanks In Advance.
Did the installation end successfully with the Docker welcome window?
If not, probably something went wrong during the installation.
You can either reinstall it or try to follow answers in this issue:
