Docs says Windows 10 Home does not support Hyper-V above, but my system seems to. See: @friism could you address this conflicting information? I am about to try it out and let you know if I run into any problems or not. I’m thinking either. This documentation is outdated and Windows Insider latest version does support, hyper-v.

If you're a Mac or Windows user, the Docker Toolbox will install Docker Machine v0.16.2 for you, alongside the latest versions of the Docker Engine, Compose and Kitematic. If you are running Windows 10 Home (starting with version 1903), you can install Docker Desktop for Windows with the WSL 2 backend. Can I run Docker Desktop on Windows Server? No, running Docker Desktop on Windows Server is not supported. Starting the docker daemon resolved the issue. Just search for docker pressing windows key and click on 'Docker Dekstop'. Daemon should be running in a minute. After starting up Docker Desktop, make sure the docker daemon status in the bottom left is green and shows RUNNING when you hover over it.

The Problem

Recently I installed Docker for Windows on my local machine, running Windows 10 (latest version). It got installed successfully, as I installed using administrator privileges. But, soon I realized that it would not start completely. It was in Starting... for quite a long time.

Then I figured out why. It was because the WSL2 installation was not complete.

The Solution

Docker For Windows Kubernetes Not Starting

• To install this, you need to open this link in your browser window.
• You will see something similar to:
  
• Click on it and download the executable.
• Double click on the downloaded executable and install it using the administrative privileges.
• Once done, restart the docker.
• You will see docker is up and running through the dashboard.

You rock! The Docker container is up and running! :)
