Error response from daemon: open \\.\pipe\docker_engine_windows: The system cannot find the file specified

I had the same issue, I took chedebala’s advice, uninstalled 4.14.1 and downloaded 4.13.0 and that worked for me

here is a link for anyone who needs help downloading an older version
4.13.0

https://desktop.docker.com/win/main/amd64/89412/Docker%20Desktop%20Installer.exe

download link

4.13.1 was released on oct31, so that might work too but i’m running 4.13.0. here is the link if you want to try

https://desktop.docker.com/win/main/amd64/90346/Docker%20Desktop%20Installer.exe

( i’m a noob so I can’t put more than 2 links )

I got the urls from chocolatey
