Newbie in this area. I have installed the new version of Docker in my windows PC. I am using windows 10 Pro. I have tried the very basic docker command but it is not working. I have also run the docker as administrator. Getting the below error always

docker: error during connect: Post http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.39/containers/create: open //./pipe/docker_engine: Zugriff verweigert In the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run elevated to connect. This error may also indicate that the docker daemon is not running.

Seems to be related to the below issue:

I had the same issue - I was able to resolve the issue by running power shell with Admin privs. I validated this was the same behavior for running the commands via elevated cmd prompt. It also enabled docker run hello-world command which was returning the error message ...Access is denied. In the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run elevated to connect. This error may also indicate that the docker daemon is not running.
