Network Issue: No Internet Access After Docker Engine Starts

Docker Desktop

Hello everyone,

I’m encountering a frustrating issue: whenever Docker Engine starts on one of my machines, the machine loses internet access.

Everything works fine at startup.

As soon as dockerd starts (or Docker Desktop starts), I lose all internet connectivity (no ping, browser blocked, etc.).

This happens even without any containers running.

For some context infomramtions :
OS : Windows 10
Docker Desktop version : 4.40.0

Hello!
The issue of losing internet access when Docker Engine starts on Windows 10 (Docker Desktop 4.40.0) likely stems from IP address/DNS conflicts or interference with virtual network adapters. Troubleshoot by checking Docker network configurations against your host’s, trying a different Docker subnet, resetting the Docker network, disabling/re-enabling network adapters, examining firewall and VPN settings, updating network drivers, and potentially checking Docker daemon logs or trying an older Docker Desktop version. Start with simple solutions like restarting Docker and checking for IP conflicts, systematically working through the steps to identify the cause.
