At this moment Docker is not work properly for my copy of Windows 10 (latest version), but It's not problem right now. I just want to force Kitematic to USE VIRTUALBOX as default. Is there any way to do that?
Using procmon I was able to find the settings folder used by Kitematic: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Kinematic\. Deleting this folder and restarting Kitematic worked for me.
You may also want to edit the Docker settings at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Docker\settings.json, and set UseWindowsContainers as appropriate.
Hope this helps!

I am new to Docker and trying to set it up on my Windows 10 machine. I installed Docker Desktop but when I run it, I get this "Docker desktop stopping..." message rightaway and Docker doesn't seem to start. What am I doing wrong?
I had the same probably using Windows. To fix it, I had to make sure WSL 2 was installed properly:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/wsl/install-manual#step-4---download-the-linux-kernel-update-package
If it's already installed on your machine, try uninstalling and reinstalling it.
However, I can see that people have already mentioned that solution. If you've done it and it didn't work, try this as well:
Open Docker Desktop and click on the 'troubleshoot' icon in the top right corner. Click 'Clean/Purge Data' and select 'WSL 2' only and click 'delete'. Then restart your machine and it should work. Hope that helps!
This question was already asked a lot, but I didn't found a solution which is working for me.
I downloaded Docker Desktop with his guide for my windows 10 machine. After a successful installation the application does not start.
Following this solution didn't work. I deleted settings.json and restarted everything without success. Even reinstalling did not work. Any one has an other idea?
Edit:Reinstalling an older version (3.6.0 in my case) fixed the issue, but there has to be some other way...
Stop all processes with Docker and remove all content from the directory
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Docker
After that start Docker Desktop.
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 have an issue with running the Docker Desktop on my Windows 10 PC. After trying to run it I got an error:
Docker failed to initialize - Docker Desktop is shutting down
I already tried reinstalling (as admin), restarting PC, restarting docker services, removing content from .../AppData/Local/Docker and .../AppData/Roaming/Docker folders, but still receiving the same error message.
Does anyone have an idea how can I fix it?
Thank you a lot!
Simply local Appdata on your windows box, go to Roaming->Docker and delete the settings.json file. Restart docker and you will be fine.
Appdata can be located at this path: C:\Users\LifeIsGood\AppData\Roaming\Docker
NB. LifeisGood is my username
Downgrade to the older version solved my issue
You can try uninstalling docker and deleting
/Users/AppData/Local/Docker
/Users/AppData/Roaming/Docker
C:/Program Files/Docker
C:/ProgramData/Docker
Reinstalling Docker
However, what worked for me ultimately was deleting .docker in /Users folder and restarting docker.
I get that a lot on my laptop. I restart the "Hyper-V Host Compute Service" in Services. When that has restarted, I can start Docker Desktop.
I haven't found a permanent fix.
I had the same issue while starting the "Linux container" but windows container was working fine.
After trying All the possible methods to make docker desktop work, In case that is not worked then try this one. This one worked for me.
Please make sure to use older version of docker desktop ( mine is 4.4)
In docker desktop,
Go to settings --> General --> Use the WSL 2 based engine
Where If that check box turned On, Just Turn that off.
I'm trying to uninstall Docker Desktop (it doesn't launch) so that i can reinstall it again, I have tried updating it , It keeps telling me that i have the latest Docker Desktop
I Found the solution, and of course it involves the Windows Registry.
There was a key in Windows Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall called “Docker Desktop.”
I deleted it and all of its sub-keys and the Docker installation then went to completion.
Win + R
services.msc
Stop Docker Desktop Service
Uninstall Docker
See: https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/7489#issuecomment-757835075
Delete the contents of C:\Program Files\Docker and download a fresh Docker installer
Before you uninstall ensure you stop Docker Desktop Service on windows Service manager.
The steps are as follows:
Hit the Windows Key then type Services
Select Run as administrator
Look for Docker Desktop Service -> Right click -> Stop
Proceed with normal uninstall of the Docker Desktop from the programs and features list.
Happy Uninstall
Closed the window, downloaded a new version from the official website, then installed again. When asked if I wanted to replace the old version with the new one, I answered "Yes" and everything went fine.
The uninstaller requires Hyper-V to be installed, when having used that.
One has to uninstall Docker Desktop first and then can uninstall Hyper-V.
Try to restart your PC. Then try to uninstall again.
I had the same problem on my working laptop and I had to manually delete all the regestry keys (win + r, then type in regedit) and the whole folder in C:\Program Files.
After that I had no issues and Docker Desktop completely disappeared in Apps
