The setting “Switch to windows containers…” is in the context menu of the Docker Desktop icon in the Windows Taskbar Notifications Area (bottom right corner):

Furthermore, you can switch between engines with Docker Desktop for Windows using cli commands as well:

# switch to Windows engine to run Windows containers
docker desktop engine use windows

# switch to Linux engine to run Linux containers
docker desktop engine use linux

Hi shy123789,

To switch to Windows containers on Docker Desktop, right-click the Docker icon in the Taskbar Notifications Area and select “Switch to Windows containers…” from the context menu. You can also use the command line with docker desktop engine use windows to switch to the Windows engine, or docker desktop engine use linux to switch back to the Linux engine. Let me know if you need further assistance!
