I've installed Docker and I'm getting this error when I run the GUI:
Hardware assisted virtualization and data execution protection must be enabled in the BIOS
Seems like a bug since Docker works like a charm from the command line, but I'm wondering if anyone has a clue about why this is happening?
Before you ask, yes, I've enabled virtualization in the BIOS and the Intel Processor Identification Utility confirms that it's activated. Docker, docker-machine and docker-compose all work from the command line, Virtualbox works, running Docker from a Debian or Ubuntu VM works.
There's just this weird issue about the GUI.
My specs:
If the features described are enabled the problem is with Hyper-V that is disabled or Hypervisor agent not running
SOLUTION A (If Hyper-V is totally disabled or not installed)
Open PowerShell as administrator and
Enable Hyper-V with
dism.exe /Online /Enable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V /All
SOLUTION B (If Hyper-V feature is already enabled but doesn't work)
Enable Hypervisor with
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
Now restart the system and try again.
SOLUTION C
If the problem persists probably Hyper-V on your system is corrupted, so
Go in Control Panel -> [Programs] -> [Windows Features] and completely uncheck all Hyper-V related components. Restart the system.
Enable Hyper-V again. Restart.
NOTE 1:
Hyper-V needs hardware virtualization as prerequisite. Make sure your PC supports it, if yes and still won't work there is the possibility your BIOS is not configured correctly and this feature is disabled. In this case, check, enable it and try again. The virtualization features could be reported under different names according the platform used (e.g if you don't see any option that uses virtualization label explicitly, on AMD you have to check SVM feature state, on Intel the VT-x feature state).
NOTE 2:
Hyper-V can be installed only with some version e.g.:
Windows 10 Enterprise; Windows 10 Professional; Windows 10 Education.
Hyper-V cannot be installed on cheaper or mobile Windows versions e.g.:
Windows 10 Home; Windows 10 Mobile; Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise.
