Recently I installed Docker for Windows on my local machine, running Windows 10 (latest version). It got installed successfully, as I installed using administrator privileges. But, soon I realized that it would not start completely. It was in Starting... for quite a long time.
Then I figured out why. It was because the WSL2 installation was not complete.
The Solution
- To install this, you need to open this link in your browser window.
- You will see something similar to:
- Click on it and download the executable.
- Double click on the downloaded executable and install it using the administrative privileges.
- Once done, restart the docker.
- You will see docker is up and running through the dashboard.
You rock! The Docker container is up and running! :)
