Configure Docker Desktop Container 'actions'

Docker Desktop for Windows
1

Hi all, I searched this forum, the documentation, stackoverflow, etc,

  • Issue type

Icons to open terminal, pause, stop container is missing from Docker Desktop.

  • OS Version/build

Windows 10 Enterprise / 19044.1826

  • App version

v4.11.1

I “believe” that I followed the same steps for previous Docker Desktop App (v4.10.1) and I see the Open Terminal Icon.

  • Steps to reproduce

I download the windows installer, configured the WSL2 backend.

I expect to see the open Terminal Icon (icon that looks like command line)

But in this install (v4.11.1) I see that the “Open Terminal Icon” is missing:

I suspect that it is something with WSL, but I am not sure. Can anyone provide some advice?

Thank you.

It looks like it has something to do with the image files themselves. I removed them and reattached the getting-started and it works as expected. The container continues to run and does not immediately exit when started.

I used this tutorial How To Keep Docker Container Running For Debugging (devopscube.com) to keep the container running.

The “Open Terminal” option is only available for running containers. On your screenshot, nothing was running.
