docker installation on Windows - windows

I have installed Docker in my windows 10 machine.
When i open power-shell and check docker version it shows below
PS C:\Users\XXXXX> docker --version
Docker version 19.03.4, build 9013bf5
But when i ran Docker images or docker run it did not worked
PS C:\Users\XXXXX> docker images
error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.40/images/json: open
//./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified. 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.
For Docker run
PS C:\Users\XXXX> docker run hello-world
docker : C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\bin\docker.exe: error during connect: Post
http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.40/containers/create: open //./pipe/docker_engine: The
system cannot find
the file specified. 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.
I am not getting if docker is installed then why docker images and docker run are not working ?

Make sure the Docker service is runnig.
(1) Go to Services.
(2) Check service Docker for Windows is running.
You can stop/start the service as well using below commands in command prompt.
Net stop com.docker.service
Net start com.docker.service

Have you manually started docker after the installation?

How can I run a Windows Docker container on Windows without "open \\.\pipe\docker_engine_windows: The system cannot find the file specified"?

I am running Docker 20.10.22 on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.
In my Docker Desktop settings, I have using WSL 2 disabled:
I have Hyper-V enabled:
I have Docker Desktop in Windows containers mode instead of Linux containers mode.
Despite this, when I try to run this Windows Docker container, I this error message:
>docker run --rm -it mcr.microsoft.com/windows:ltsc2019
docker: Error response from daemon: open \\.\pipe\docker_engine_windows: The system cannot find the file specified.
See 'docker run --help'.
Do I need to change any Docker or Windows settings in order to be able to successfully run the Windows container?
The issue was that both "Containers" and "Hyper-V" need to be enabled.
To fix this, I ran
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName containers -All
in an Administrator PowerShell and then restarted my Windows computer. (Note that I already had Hyper-V enabled.) After Docker Desktop finished starting, running
docker run --rm -it mcr.microsoft.com/windows:ltsc2019
successfully pulled and ran the image.

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running? (Ubuntu 20.04 ,WSL2)

I have Microsoft Windows 10 Pro version 10.0.19041 N/A Build 19041 and I follow steps here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10 to install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on it using WLS2 , I'm doing so to install docker by following steps here https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/#install-using-the-repository
but when I try to run sudo docker run hello-world it gives me this error docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?.
See 'docker run --help'. I know that a similar question asked here Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:/var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running? ,and I try to run systemctl daemon-reload and systemctl start docker but al the solutions does not worked for me it gives me another errors like System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
Failed to connect to bus: Host is down and Also try to fix it but I can't, So I need your help.
Note : I have already install Docker in windows and It works fine.
I have been solving this problem by following these steps
Purge the Grub package Linux command according this issue https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4903
Stop Docker Desktop from Windows
Run sudo dockerd which is the daemon service for Docker containers
https://i.stack.imgur.com/qgbwE.png
Open new Ubuntu shell session
Run docker run hello-world
and it's work fine with me https://i.stack.imgur.com/6TJ3u.png

Unable to connect to Docker daemon WINDOWS

I've installed Stable Docker Desktop for WINDOWS 10. I tried running:
docker run hello-world
Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
(amd64)
3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
to your terminal.
So it appears that it can connect to Docker daemon. However when I run my own command:
C:\Users\cortex>bash
DESKTOP-2GHN95P:/tmp/docker-desktop-root/mnt/host/c/Users/cortex/# cortex deploy
I get following error:
error: unable to connect to the Docker daemon
please confirm Docker is running, or if Docker is not installed, install it by following the instructions for your operating system: https://docs.docker.com/install
I'm new to Docker and I can't figure out this problem. Anyone has any ideas?
Looks like you're trying to run cortex from a WSL, which is trying to take action on the docker engine in the host OS. If you have WSL 2, you can enable the WSL 2 integration for Docker desktop in the settings. If that's not an option, you can always install docker on your WSL instead,

After installation, `docker info` is not working

I installed Dock via chocolatey install docker-toolbox. After installation, docker info is not working.
C:\Users\Chloe>docker info
error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.37/info: open
//./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified. 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.
C:\Users\Chloe>docker --version
Docker version 18.03.0-ce, build 0520e24302
https://docs.docker.com/get-started/#test-docker-version
I did run it from an Administrator shell.
Windows 8.1.
Had to run Start > Programs > Docker > Docker Quickstart Terminal which ran a lot of commands. Then in my original Console2 shell, I ran refreshenv. Then docker info would work. (I already had VirtualBox installed (choco install virtualbox).)

cannot run docker on windows 10

hello I just installed docker for windows on a windows 10 computer.
docker run -d -p 8787:8787 rocker/rstudio
gives me:
docker: error during connect: Post

//./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified. 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. See 'docker run --help'
What I have done so far:
installed https://download.docker.com/win/stable/Docker%20for%20Windows%20Installer.exe
enabled virtualization in the BIOS
made sure that hyper-v is enabled
