Docker Desktop for Windows: No hypervisor is present on this system - docker

Question

I am new to Docker Desktop for Windows. I am getting an error when I tried the hello world example by following this. Update
Below is the steps I followed:
1 Installed Docker for Windows, stable version
2 Both Hyper-V and Virtualization have been enabled on my Windows 10
However, error below when switch to Linux container:
An error occurred.
Hardware assisted virtualization and data execution protection must be enabled in the BIOS. See https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/troubleshoot/#virtualization-must-be-enabled
Please note the problem in this post occurs when using Windows containers. Step 3 is using Windows containers, not Linux.
3 Error below when trying out hello world

Answer 1

Here is what worked for me: Open command prompt as admin and run
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
and then reboot
What had happened:
I had to start an android emulator and Android Studio said that "Emulator is incompatible With Hyper-V" so it ran this command to disable hyper-v bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

Answer 2

These steps fixed it:
1. bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
2. reboot computer
3. docker run hello-world

Answer 3

if both docker and Hyper-V are installed try to recreate the image in docker. It works for me.
You can check the status of Hyper-V in system by typing the following command in powershell:
systeminfo
You should also switch to container for windows in docker if not already.

Answer 4

Had the same problem.
Had to enable the virtualization in the BIOS to solve it.

Answer 5

If you're attempting to run Docker for Windows inside a Parallels virtual machine, you must enable 'Nested Virtualization'.
https://kb.parallels.com/en/116239
This is only available in the Pro and Business Editions. I had to upgrade my version to support this as I was running Desktop.

Answer 6

If you are running Docker in a VM, may be you need look into "Nested Virtualization", the Virtualization need to be exposed from Physical Server to VM.
For example, expose Virtualization in Hyper-V platform throuth powershell scripts:
Set-VMProcessor -VMName <VMName> -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true
see the link:
Run Hyper-V in a Virtual Machine with Nested Virtualization

Answer 7

I had faced the same issue and it got resolved after upgrading my windows to latest version...

Answer 8

I did everything as suggested on this post and others to no avail. What did work for me was the following:
Turn Windows Features OFF : Hyper-V and Containers
Force an windows update to Windows 10 Pro ver: 1803
The update completed. Then when I started docker it asked me if I wanted to enable Hyper-V and Containers. I answered yes. The machine rebooted twice.
After this everything worked perfectly. Unfortunately I cannot say for sure if point 1 or point 2 or both together fixed the issue. I would suggest try point 1 above first followed by a reboot then starting docker. I suspect this rather than forcing a update to Windows 1803 will fix the problem.

Answer 9

For virtualbox users you need to enable nested virtualization
VM -> Configuration -> System -> Processor -> Enable nested VT-x/AMD-v

Answer 10

Run the following command on Windows Power Shell
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All
if it requires a restart, then just follow the steps.
more info or options, please check docs from microsoft

Answer 11

Step 1:
Uninstall Docker.
Step 2:
Open "Turn windows features on or off" from Control Panel.
Uncheck both features - "Containers" and "Hyper-V", if they are checked.
Step 3:
Reboot PC
Step 4:
Check both features - "Container" and "Hyper-V".
Step 5:
Reboot PC.
Step 6:
Install docker and execute docker run hello-world

Answer 12

BIOS LEVEL Virtualization is a must
Hyper-V and Containers Windows features must be enabled.
The following hardware prerequisites are required to successfully run Client Hyper-V on Windows 10:
64-bit processor with Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)
4GB system RAM
BIOS-level hardware virtualization support must be enabled in the BIOS settings.
