Docker cannot start on Windows

by

The error is related to that part:

In the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must
be run elevated to connect

  • First, verify that Docker Desktop application is running. If not, launch it: that will run the docker daemon (just wait few minutes).

  • Then, if the error still persist, you can try to switch Docker daemon type, as explained below:

With Powershell:

  1. Open Powershell as administrator
  2. Launch command: & 'C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe' -SwitchDaemon

OR, with cmd:

  1. Open cmd as administrator
  2. Launch command: "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe" -SwitchDaemon
