Tried to uninstall (so that I can reinstall) and it fails with a similar access violation:

Is there logs from the OnStart of the service that I can examine? Any information to debug the problem?

I too have the same issue. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have not received any responses yet and have been working on different project until I hear something. Are you able to uninstall and reinstall (that was a suggestion)? I was not able to uninstall though. Thanks for replying. At least my post moved to the top.

I uninstalled and installed Docker desktop with stable and edge channels, both have the same issue. I also tried installing a previous version and the installation never completed even after 30 min. So I’m really stuck with this.

What version of Windows? I am using Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0.18362.
