Quick fix for Docker not starting on Windows with error "Docker Desktop stopped"
I tried to start Docker Desktop this morning on my Windows machine and was getting the error "Docker Desktop stopped" before the application automatically closed.
A quick fix that worked for me was to simply delete the Docker settings.json
file located at C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\Docker\settings.json
and then start Docker Desktop again. When Docker starts it automatically creates a new settings.json
file.
I'm running Windows 10 with Docker Desktop 4.9.1.
