Service failed to start the virtual machine 'DockerDesktopVM' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running

Question

I have Window Server 2016/2019 Virtual Machine(Openstack). On that Hyper-V install successfully. But not able to start MobyLinuxVM.

ExposeVirtualizationExtensions are already enabled on the Virtual Machine box through PowerShell.

Answer 1

I was facing the same issue I resolved this issue following below steps. If you are able to run Windows container that means issue is with Hyper-V

1. Enable hyper on VM by -
2. We must enable hardware virtulization too this can be done by(IT team can help as this should be done on CPU level)

Answer 2

Work-around

1. Open Hyper-V Manager under Windows Administrative Tools
2. Note DockerDesktopVM is not running under Virtual Machines
3. Under the Actions pane, click Stop Service, then click Start Service
4. Restart Docker Desktop

Its worked for me

Answer 3

Make sure that the VT-X virtualization is enabled in your BIOS
