Today, I get this error when running Docker for Windows on Windows 10 Build 1803. So, I check my current username (run whoami ) and add that user to docker-users local group, which has only NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account in members list. I must log out and log in again to run Docker for Windows.
Docker for Windows 10 and Server 2016 Use Windows container Install Docker for Windows Must log out of Windows to complete installation Enable Container feature Check Docker version: docker version Docker Windows container Build demo container to print environment variables docker run the demo container
