Why is Docker trying to create the folder that I'm mounting? If I cd to C:\Users\szx\Projects

docker run --rm -it -v "${PWD}:/src" ubuntu /bin/bash

This command exits with the following error:

C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker.exe: Error response from daemon: error while creating mount source path '/c/Users/szx/Projects': mkdir /c/Users/szx/Projects: file exists.

I'm using Docker Toolbox on Windows 10 Home.

I got this error after changing my Windows password. I had to go into Docker settings and do "Reset credentials" under "Shared Drives", then restart Docker.
