Yesterday I installed Docker Desktop for Windows. I was able to open the GUI and explore a little. Today I want to get down to business and pull GPT4ALL. (I was advised that running GPT4ALL within Docker Desktop for Windows would allow me to keep my work on proprietary documents under my control and off of the cloud.)
But today when I attempted to open the Docker GUI it stopped immediately.
An unexpected error occurred
changing CLI context: ensuring desktop context: creating context desktop-linux: rename C:\Users\Peruz\.docker\contexts\meta\fe9c6bd7a66301f49ca9b6a70b217107cd1284598bfc254700c989b916da791e\.tmp-meta.json3897036934 C:\Users\Peruz\.docker\contexts\meta\fe9c6bd7a66301f49ca9b6a70b217107cd1284598bfc254700c989b916da791e\meta.json: Access is denied.
Re-installation of Docker produces “Installation is up to date”.
How do I force re-installation?
I attempted un-install. That failed, claiming that I had to stop my Carbonite backup app first. Stopping Carbonite does not work.
Thank you in advance for your help.

You probably just don’t have access to the json which is mentioned in the error message. You can try to fix the permission if you know how to do that on Windows or try to delete the .docker folder in your user’s directory and start docker desktop after that.
I’m going to fix your post. Please, read our formatting guide so you can share code without allowing the forum to change the text.
