Hi everyone,

A week ago Docker was working fine.  
However I had to update Windows through the week and since then, I can’t run Docker anymore.  
I get the following error:  
“Running pre-create checks…  
Error with pre-create check: “This computer doesn’t have VT-X/AMD-v enabled. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory”  
Looks like something went wrong in step ´Checking if machine default exists´… Press any key to continue…”  
The worst thing is virtualisation is already enabled in the BIOS , so I don’t know what to do.

Thanks
