I have recently rebuilt my PC from scratch. I have installed Docker for Windows. I cannot switch from Linux container to Windows container. Here is the error I get:
Error response from daemon: open \\.\pipe\docker_engine_windows: The system cannot find the file specified.

I have spent all weekend so far trying to get this to work. I have read many webpages including this one: https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/1126 Nothing works. I am using Windows 10 64 Bit. Linux containers are ok.
I have tried reinstalling Hypervisor.
My Windows 10 version is: 1803. I wander if there is an issue with this version: https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/1927
Update
I have two Windows PCs:
1) Tablet, which I purchased two years ago - Docker switches to Windows containers correctly.
2) PC, which I rebuilt at the weekend (with a new SSD card). I have the problem described above with this PC. I used a Windows 10 CD, which I created in 2015/16 and then applied the automatic updates.
I wander if there is an issue with the updates that were applied to 2?
