When I try to start Docker Desktop, I get an error message. A prompt says:
Something went wrong
Setting up docker api proxy listener: open \.\pipe\docker_engine: Access is denied.
I have tried reinstalling, but I still get the message.
Running “docker version” displays a similar error message:
error during connect: this error may indicate that the docker daemon is not running: Get “http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.24/version”: open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified.
I have installed Docker Desktop 4.27.2 using the installer
I’m on Windows 11 Enterprise
Update:
Irealized it might have something to do with me installing Podman on the computer, for another project. Simply closing Podman becore opening Docker Desktop seems to fix the problem
