I’m actually curious why Windows users want to run Docker Desktop without user login. Can you help me to understand it? If there is a good reason, maybe even the developers can be convinced about it.
As I see currently, when Docker Desktop need to start automatically without a user login, that would mean it is not used for development and the features of Docker Desktop can’t be used. Maybe there are some extensions, but probably most of the tools that can be used as an extension could be used on Linux without a desktop. I mean those that don’t require user interaction. I could be wrong.
If Docker Desktop features are not used, I would try to run a virtual machine on Windows and install Docker CE in it. If you know the way to start hyperV machines or WSL on Windows 10 without user login, a VM could start and inside the VM, Docker CE would start automatically.
