Not enough memory to start Docker (Windows 10 Pro)

New install (see details below) getting:

The following are my sp

Windows 10 Professional Version 10.0.15063 Build 15063

Docker Community Edition
Version 17.06.1-ce-win24 (13025)
Channel: stable

I am attempting to start Docker on my Thinkpad Carbon X1: i7-4600U / 8GB physical memory

I have tried modifying the memory both via the Docker systray settings->memory and by modifying MobyLinuxVM.vhdx through the Hyper-V manager. The former will not allow me to expand the memory beyond 5888MB and the latter will not allow me to modify the vhdx while it is “starting” nor can I seem to locate/import the image once Docker has exited.

Is i7/8GB not sufficient to run Docker?

Is i7/8GB not sufficient to run Docker?

Your system should be fine. … I use 2 CPUs and 2048MB … The Hyper-VManager says: ~800MB used. … So you should be good to go.

Did you encounter any problems during your install process?

I personally would try to uninstall / install docker again. … and see what happens. … Don’t have any other ideas. atm

Did you check your log files?

Not sure if this is the right log and I’m not sure how to go about starting Docker interactive on Windows but here is what I’ve found (excerpt) from \ProgramData\Docker\service.txt:

Any ideas?

Not sure if it was the installation or the subsequent update but the issue seems to have cleared up after removing the old and then re-installing.
