cannot run docker on windows 10 - windows

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
http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.35/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. 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

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.

docker-compose not working in Windows powershell

I am trying to run the docker docker-compose build command in Windows but it isn't running. I get the following error.
[+] Building 0.0s (0/0)
error during connect: This error may indicate that the docker daemon is not running.: Get "http://%!F(MISSING)%!F(MISSING).%!F(MISSING)pipe%!F(MISSING)docker_engine/v1.24/version": open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified.: driver not connecting
My docker-compose version is v2.5.0 but it doesn't let me run the build command. I even installed Docker for Windows and it only shows me the following issue.
Not sure how to proceed with this.

docker installation on 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
Refer article : https://success.docker.com/article/docker-for-windows-fails-with-a-daemon-not-running-message
Have you manually started docker after the installation?
Install Docker Desktop on Windows

Windows does not support privileged mode

I am using Windows Subsystem for Linux. and I have problems creating a container.
docker-compose run --rm --service-ports --use-aliases backend - bash
Show me this error
ERROR: Cannot create container for service backend: Windows does not support privileged mode
I have activated
"experimental": true
If you have, in parallel of WSL, a Docker for Windows installed, with the option "Enable Linux Containers on Windows" (LCOW)" active (as in nodeshift issue 127, that could explained the error message (seen in moby#runconfig/hostconfig_windows.go)
Double-check your settings, following the "Setting Up Docker for Windows and WSL to Work Flawlessly"
While the Docker daemon cannot run directly on WSL, you can use the Docker CLI to connect to a remote Docker daemon running through Docker for Windows or any other VM you create.
Check also your Windows 10 version: the more recent, the better.

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).)
