Unable to Start Docker Desktop on Windows 10

I was getting bellow error while trying to start Docker Desktop on Windows 10.

Unable to stop - The running command stopped because the preference variable "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop: Service 'Hyper-V Host Compute Service (vmcompute)' cannot be started due to the following error: Cannot start service vmcompute on computer '.'.

This is a known issue .

"Hyper-V Host Compute Service" does not start after updating Windows 10 with latest security patches and this caused docker start failures after reboot.

Try out the steps mentioned below-

-

Open "Window Security"

  • "App & Browser control"

  • Click "Exploit protection settings" at the bottom

  • Switch to "Program settings" tab

  • Locate "C:\WINDOWS\System32\vmcompute.exe" in the list and expand it

  • Click "Edit"

  • Scroll down to "Code flow guard (CFG)" and uncheck "Override system settings"

  • Start vmcompute from powershell "net start vmcompute"
