Docker for Windows: error pulling image configuration: i/o timeout

I have installed the latest version of Docker for Windows (1.12.1-stable, build 7135) on my Windows 10 Pro-64 bit. I was able to successfully execute docker run hello-world. However, when I do docker run busybox, an error is thrown as below.

C:\Users\testuser>docker run -it busybox
Unable to find image 'busybox:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from library/busybox

8ddc19f16526: Pulling fs layer
docker: error pulling image configuration: Get https://dseasb33srnrn.cloudfront.net/registry-v2/docker/registry/v2/blobs/sha256/2b/2b8fd9751c4c0f5dd266fcae00707e67a2545ef34f9a29354585f93dac906749/data?Expires=1474617209&Signature=HRDYuDqnI3ERPonW9vj0HtP3hzIQoB1j7d-kWzR0iDXozoDknq0n4wIfkw2H73K5xaBBmVNy2ZoOqOQTm9LFP44MGfgS1pNthOLuEMSKrVUJmuaQNvckxuznuqffhkMCmTmQ7-~WMBjyLh7Si9sLdYR8oLVwN6sDRn5wKRa7f4I_&Key-Pair-Id=APKAJECH5M7VWIS5YZ6Q: dial tcp: i/o timeout.
See 'docker run --help'.

The same error occurs for several other images. I do not have a proxy and have a stable internet connection. I have tried this with windows firewall enabled and disabled. I have also restarted the docker service.

Let me know if I am missing something. Thanks in advance.

Simply setting the DNS to fixed (and setting the target to 8.8.8.8) fixed it for me (after Docker restarted).

I was also facing the similar issue while running Docker on Windows 10.

The issue got resolved by changing the DNS settings. (Settings -> Network -> DNS Server -> 8.8.8.8 ( Automatic)

I observed that when the DNS server option was set to manual, the timeout issue still remains.

After making these changes, Docker service was restarted and I was able to pull the Docker image successfully.

This is a known issue with the networking stack in the current version of Docker for Windows.

The workaround is detailed in remove stale network adapters: open the Network settings in Docker for Windows, and select the 'Fixed' DNS setting, using Google's DNS server 8.8.8.8.
