The problem is in WSL as it becomes unresponsive and returns a service error. Follow the below steps
1. Uncheck the Windows Subsystem for Linux in Windows Features
2. Restart
3. Turn the feature back on
4. Re-apply the WSL2 update
5. Restart
My Solution:
I have checked the Prerequisites for Docker. I have applied the second step in prerequisites. (Windows Subsystem for Linux Installation with Manual Installation Steps) It has fixed the error for me.
If you get an error like this (during this installation process):
WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80370114 Error: 0x80370114 The operation could not be started because a required feature is not installed. (I encountered this error.) Please, apply this.
These steps are quoted from the "this" named hyperlink above.
1. Open "Windows Security"
2. Open "App & Browser control"
3. Click "Exploit protection settings" at the bottom
4. Switch to "Program settings" tab
5. Locate "C:\WINDOWS\System32\vmcompute.exe" in the list and expand it
6. Click "Edit"
7. Scroll down to "Code flow guard (CFG)" and uncheck "Override system settings"
8. Start vmcompute from powershell "net start vmcompute"
9. Then go back and command wsl --set-default-version 2
I have fixed my problems like that. Good luck :)
What fixed this for me was
Docker failed to start WSL 2 update I just did this on powershell
wsl --install -d Ubuntu
wsl --update
wsl --shutdown
Fyi -- jprism's answer worked for me.
My issues were...
The combination of the above answer and installation of new destro worked for me
I was facing the same problem in my windows cooperate desktop. Unfortunately most of the windows settings changes are not available for users and controlled by IT team. What I did to make docker running is
I know this is not ideal but atleast got docker working.
In my scenario, I needed to install WSL 2 and my computer didn't have it. Installing it made docker run successfully. Try the below steps if you are installing docker for the first time.
First, we need to activate WSL from Windows.
Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows features Turn On or Off
You need to check
Then Click ok
After that, you need to Enable WSL 1 and update it to WSL 2 (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10#manual-installation-steps)
To Install WSL 1 which comes built-in, open PowerShell as Administrator and run:
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
After that download the WSL 2 update from Microsoft. Use below this: WSL2 Linux kernel update package for x64 machines
After installing the above package, you need to set WSL 2 as the default version.
Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:
wsl --set-default-version 2
Now restart your computer. Now your docker should work.
Please note that to update to WSL 2, you must be running Windows 10.
this can help you
& 'C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe' -SwitchDaemon
run this in powershell.
