docker cannot start on windows

Question

Executing docker version returns the following results.

C:\\Projects> docker version
Client:
 Version:      1.13.0-dev
 API version:  1.25
 G         


        

Answer 1

The error is related to that part:

In the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run elevated to connect

You can do this in order to switch Docker daemon:

1. Open Powershell as administrator
2. Run following command:

cd "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker" ./DockerCli.exe -SwitchDaemon
