Restart docker Windows 10 command line

I am trying to figure out how to restart docker in the command line so that i can make a bat script to restart it and start up a few containers.

I created a dos prompt using admin access and run the following

PS C:\Windows\system32> net stop com.docker.service
The Docker for Windows Service service is stopping.
A system error has occurred.

System error 1067 has occurred.

The process terminated unexpectedly.

The Docker for Windows Service service was stopped successfully.

PS C:\Windows\system32> net start com.docker.service
The Docker for Windows Service service is starting.
The Docker for Windows Service service was started successfully.

PS C:\Windows\system32> docker ps
error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.25/containers/json: open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified. In the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run elevated to connect. This error ma
y also indicate that the docker daemon is not running.
PS C:\Windows\system32>

Note: i can restart it fine using the docker windows app. However I need to do this comandline.

Background for anyone wondering why i am restarting docker Docker won't start containers after win 10 shutdown and power up.. I am sick to death of doing this every time i reboot so was hoping to create a bat file i could just kick off.

If you can use Powershell as the windows command line, you can get a more controlled and correct result (based on @sabujp's answer). This is also using Docker Desktop 2.1.0.1 (current as of 2019-08-19).

Write-Output "$((Get-Date).ToString("HH:mm:ss")) - Restarting docker"

foreach($svc in (Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.name -ilike "*docker*" -and $_.Status -ieq "Running"}))
{
    $svc | Stop-Service -ErrorAction Continue -Confirm:$false -Force
    $svc.WaitForStatus('Stopped','00:00:20')
}

Get-Process | Where-Object {$_.Name -ilike "*docker*"} | Stop-Process -ErrorAction Continue -Confirm:$false -Force

foreach($svc in (Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.name -ilike "*docker*" -and $_.Status -ieq "Stopped"} ))
{
    $svc | Start-Service 
    $svc.WaitForStatus('Running','00:00:20')
}

Write-Output "$((Get-Date).ToString("HH:mm:ss")) - Starting Docker Desktop"
& "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Docker Desktop.exe"
$startTimeout = [DateTime]::Now.AddSeconds(90)
$timeoutHit = $true
while ((Get-Date) -le $startTimeout)
{

    Start-Sleep -Seconds 10
    $ErrorActionPreference = 'Continue'
    try
    {
        $info = (docker info)
        Write-Verbose "$((Get-Date).ToString("HH:mm:ss")) - `tDocker info executed. Is Error?: $($info -ilike "*error*"). Result was: $info"

        if ($info -ilike "*error*")
        {
            Write-Verbose "$((Get-Date).ToString("HH:mm:ss")) - `tDocker info had an error. throwing..."
            throw "Error running info command $info"
        }
        $timeoutHit = $false
        break
    }
    catch 
    {

        if (($_ -ilike "*error during connect*") -or ($_ -ilike "*errors pretty printing info*")  -or ($_ -ilike "*Error running info command*"))
        {
            Write-Output "$((Get-Date).ToString("HH:mm:ss")) -`t Docker Desktop startup not yet completed, waiting and checking again"
        }
        else
        {
            Write-Output "Unexpected Error: `n $_"
            return
        }
    }
    $ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'
}
if ($timeoutHit -eq $true)
{
    throw "Timeout hit waiting for docker to startup"
}

Write-Output "$((Get-Date).ToString("HH:mm:ss")) - Docker restarted"

I disabled "fast startup" and I no longer have this issue but YMMV.

This is with more recent versions of Docker for Windows Desktop (Docker Community Edition 2.0.0.3 2019-02-15)

net stop docker
net stop com.docker.service
taskkill /IM "dockerd.exe" /F
taskkill /IM "Docker for Windows.exe" /F
net start docker
net start com.docker.service
"c:\program files\docker\docker\Docker for Windows.exe"
