I’m running 4.17.0 (99724) and the UI says I have updates, but when I click “Download Update”, nothing happens. I’ve also tried clicking “Download update…” from the system tray context menu, and that doesn’t do anything either. I’ve tried shutting down and restarting Docker, and the same thing happens. This is all after a fresh reboot. Why isn’t update working?
same for me for version 4.18. I’m on Windows 10.
Same for me.
You’re currently on version 4.18.0 (104112). The latest version is 4.19.0 (106363).
Anyone get past this yet?
I had the same issue. I was able to update after running Docker Desktop as administrator.

Had exactly the same issue with 4.18.0 failing to update to 4.19.0 while there was really a 4.22.0 (117440) out.
So the installer seemed to be using an outdated update. Restarting and running as an administrator didn’t help. I’ve manually downloaded the installer for 4.22.0, stopped the two Docker services (Docker Engine and Docker Desktop Service), and run the installer manually. With this, Docker was updated and back to normal.
Never works for me either, have to go to their site and download it manually.
Same here. On Windows 11. Every single update since I installed Docker Desktop has failed. It downloads, I click the “restart and apply” button, it exits… and nothing more ever happens. Each time I need to go download the latest version manually, run the installer manually, and that gets it done. The built-in update feature, however, is VERY broken.
The “Download update” button does absolutely nothing for me as well. I’ve also got “Always download updates” checked, and that does nothing. With this and what seems like a 50/50 chance of seeing “Docker desktop is starting…” forever after not having launched it in a few weeks, I’m beginning to hate the Docker desktop app more than any other app on Windows. The thing just doesn’t seem to work and consistently requires my time in order to get it to work.
Add to that the horrible UX, and I’m incredibly frustrated with it. Who thought using modals that take up the entire window with an “X” right under the app “X” was a good idea? There is no visual context as to where I’m going to be when I click that “X”. When you can launch from system tray, there is even more need for app context and location because you didn’t “come from” anywhere.
Is there a solution going to ever come
