Docker commands fails (in Windows)

Question

I am trying to use Docker on a windows machine and is hit with every possible issue it seems. My latest one is this: My machine is running but I can\'t seem to interact with

Answer 1

I have had this issue on a Windows 2016 machine. Happened because the docker service wasn't started. In my case the docker service as failing with the following error

fatal: Error starting daemon: pid file found, ensure docker is not running or delete C:\ProgramData\docker.pid

Deleting the C:\ProgramData\docker.pid file did the trick.
