Problem:
When I try to start docker desktop it leaves me this error.
Unable to create: The running command stopped because the preference variable "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop: Hyper-V was unable to find a virtual switch with name "DockerNAT".
This is the output when I issue docker version command on the terminal.
Client: Docker Engine - Community Version: 18.09.2 API version: 1.39 Go version: go1.10.8 Git commit: 6247962 Built: Sun Feb 10 04:12:31 2019 OS/Arch: windows/amd64 Experimental: false error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.39/version: 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 may also indicate that the docker daemon is not running.
This working without giving any error when in windows containers. But when I change it to Linux containers this happens. I tried a lot to find a solution to this problem. But I was unable to find a solution. Can someone help me to solve this problem? Thank you.
You may want to check from HyperV console to ensure there is a vnet called DockerNAT.
tray icon to see if there is some log related to why the vnet cannot be created
