Unable to map ports to container

Windows Server 2016
1

Expected behavior

Running any container with the -p flag allows a container to run with the port allocated.

Actual behavior

Container fails to start and results in error “Error response from daemon: failed to create endpoint reverent_clarke on network nat: HNS failed with error : Unspecified error.”

Information

Unable to start any container when allocating ports to them. Containers are able to start when no port is specified. I have reinstalled docker multiple times and have checked that the ports being specified are not in use. attempted to delete HNS.data File and restart both the hns service and docker but to no avail. firewalls have been deactivated while testing.
