Docker for Windows not working

Question

I\'ve installed Docker toolbox now and I get the error for everything:

Get http://127.0.0.1:2375/v1.20/version: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2375: ConnectExtcp: No con

I had the same issue with Docker Toolbox on Windows 10 Home. The steps to fix the problem from here:

1. run docker-machine ls to get a list, you should probably see this:

NAME      ACTIVE   DRIVER       STATE     URL   SWARM   DOCKER    ERRORS
default   -        virtualbox   Stopped                 Unknown

2. Optional step upgrading (be patient):

docker-machine upgrade

3. restart the default:

docker-machine start default

don't worry if says:

Machine "default" is already running.

4. now you should be able to run docker version and see something like:
