I’ve just installed Docker Desktop for Windows but I am unable to open the application without errors.
I get the error: Docker Failed to initialize. This program is blocked by group policy.
I have installed hyper v manager and made sure to turn on Virtual machine platform, windows subsystem for Linux, containers, and hyper v in windows feature following this guide: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/troubleshoot/
I’m not sure what else to do to fix this issue. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks!
Also here’s the log file:
