C:\Projects>
1st start Powershell "as Administrator" that will also prevent the error you got from
docker version
.The try to start the docker service:
start-service docker
If that fails delete the docker.pid file you will find withcd $env:programfiles\docker; rm docker.pid
Finally you should change
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtualization\Containers\VSmbDisableOplocks
to0
or delete the value.For me, the answer was to turn off a VPN service. While at work, connected to a VPN, I get the error mentioned. I switch off the VPN, and then docker worked as expected on Windows 10. The command below (when complete) drops you to the interactive python prompt ">>>" and pre-installs
simplejson
andrequests
This is the final solution.. its works for me...!!
1) Find the whale in your system tray, and right click
2) Go to settings > Reset
3) Reset to factory defaults
I run in to the same problem. I solved this by enabling hyper-v.
If you have installed docker on Windows 10 Pro with Hyper-V enabled and still you are not able to run Docker on Windows 10, then as the error suggests that your docker daemon is not started. Follow following steps it helped me to start docker successfully-
1. Use command on CMD(Admin mode) docker-machine restart default then you will get msg like "open C:\User\{User_name}\.docker\machine\machines\default\config.json: The system cannot find the file specified." Go to the docker icon which will be on your windows tray(Right corner of the desktop). Then Right click on the docker icon -> setting-> Reset -> Restart Docker It will take few moments then you will see the message "Docker is running with the green indicator".
Note- If you have already had running Docker containers running on your system then don't follow these steps. You may loose the exiting containers.
You can C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker>DockerCli.exe -SwitchDaemon and point Docker CLI to either Linux or Windows containers. This worked for me.
