  • Solutions:
    • First, you should make sure your windows system is at least Win 10 Pro 19041 or higher. If not, you can upgrade your system to the latest version.
    • Then try the fllowing steps or Docker's official installation guide on Windows solutions

2. Failure in installing or starting Docker Desktop.

  • Solutions:
    • Ensure your Windows version supports WSL 2. Docker Desktop for Windows requires the Windows 10 update (Build 19041 or later) or Windows 11.
    • Install or update WSL 2 by running the following command in PowerShell: 
      wsl --install
    • Verify that both the Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Subsystem for Linux features are enabled in Windows Features.

3. Integration failure between Docker Desktop and WSL 2.

  • Solutions:
    • Enable WSL 2 support in Docker Desktop settings. Navigate to Docker Desktop, enter Settings -> General, and check “Use the WSL 2 based engine.”
    • Ensure Docker is set to integrate with a specific Linux distribution. Go to Settings -> Resources -> WSL Integration and ensure your desired distribution is enabled.

4. Unable to access external networks from Docker containers.

  • Solutions:
    • Check the Windows Firewall settings to ensure that Docker-related network activity is not blocked.
    • Restart Docker services by executing: 
      wsl --shutdown
      This shuts down all running WSL instances and restarts Docker Desktop.

5. File system permission errors, particularly when mounting directories from the Windows file system into Docker containers.

  • Solutions:
    • Use the Linux file system to store files that need to be mounted to Docker to avoid permission and performance issues.
    • Adjust permissions in the Windows folder, or use appropriate user and group identifiers in Docker commands.
