After rebooting my laptop, I can no longer public to Azure Container Registry. Happened last 4 times I rebooted

Docker Hub

Hello,

The last 4 times I have rebooted my computer, I can no longer publish to Azure Container Registry after the reboot. I’ve been publishing to the very same container over a 3 year period without issue until last week. The only way I’ve been able to fix it is to uninstall docker desktop for Windows then re-install. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thank you in advance.

Reinstall did not fixed the issue for me, so workaround for me is to push it manually

docker build -t image-name .
docker tag image-name <your_registry_name>.azurecr.io/image-name:tag
docker push <your_registry_name>.azurecr.io/image-name:tag

I found this problem only with Visual Studio, but VS Code still working.

I experience exactly the same issue and it generates the same log for me. This happens with any project when publishing in Visual Studio, even in its latest version. I ended up using the CLI.

I was trying to upload two .NET projects to the registry, one in .NET 7.0 and the other in .NET 8.0.

I re-installed again yesterday after facing the same issue. Only this time, I did not install the updates yes. I’ve rebooted and cleaned all my temporary files and it’s still working fine. So it may be the docker update causing this. I also updated Visual Studio yesterday after notification of VS updates.

Same problem here.

I assume you’re referring to VS updates? What version are you on?

I have latest version of patches for VS 2022 but I think it’s the docker update. What fixed it for me was setting the default context to the default. The issue is I have to run this command after I start docker desktop. docker context use default. Annoying
