Docker desktop crash on start up in Windows 10

Question

I installed docker desktop on Windows 10 through 'Docker Desktop Installer'.

After installation I logged off and logged in. It crashes on start up after some time stating the message as below

Docker.Core.Backend.BackendDestroyException:

I uninstalled, re-started my PC and installed by selecting 'Windows Container'. Then after the restart checked on running docker. It started successfully. But when I switch to Linux containers it again fails with the same error message above.

Answer 1

The main goal to fix this is:

1. Press windows "start" button
2. enter by keyboard "services" + "enter"
3. find two of them : "Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management" and "Hyper-V Host Computer Service"
4. (on each service)click mouse right-button, select "properties" and change in opened window "startup type" to "manual", then "ok" button.
5. click again on each mouse right-button and select "start"
6. Press windows "start" button, enter "hyper-v", it will show you hyper manager, open it
7. in hyper-v manager select "connect to server", from pop-up select "local computer"
8. run your desktop docker it is probably working now with no crashes and exceptions.
