This might end up being something for the issue tracker, but I thought I would try the community forums first because I’m pretty sure the problem is fairly specific to my machine. I’ve setup docker on a few other Windows boxes without any problem, but I’m still pretty new to Docker, so I don’t have a lot of experience troubleshooting it yet.

C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\bin\docker.exe: failed to register layer: re-exec error: exit status 1: output: ProcessUtilityVMImage \\?\C:\ProgramData\Docker\windowsfilter\ba6c398b95855526d12dc9745a53e353f92b0e276e67e24ff81d3ad126101a3b\UtilityVM: The semaphore timeout period has expired.
See 'C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\bin\docker.exe run --help'.
This error seems to be similar to others I have read about, but most of those seem to revolve around file access issues.
This behavior persists regardless of whether antivirus (Vipre Business) is installed or not (I have also disabled Windows defender after uninstalling Vipre and the problem persists).
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Docker, resetting to default settings, using the stable and edge version, etc. with no change in behavior.
I do not know if the problem is related, but I have also noticed that I cannot switch to Linux containers. When I click “Switch to Linux Containers,” I receive the notification that Docker is switching and that it may take some time. Shortly after, I receive an error notification:
External component has thrown an exception.

Log File Information
Reviewing my log file does not reveal much more information. For the problem where I cannot pull images, the log shows:
[WindowsDaemon ][Info ] debug: Cleaning up layer 27c8f948640fc15c59c5035ce06ac16ee21f154b5e6cbecf93b88936511fff52: re-exec error: exit status 1: output: ProcessUtilityVMImage C:\ProgramData\Docker\windowsfilter\27c8f948640fc15c59c5035ce06ac16ee21f154b5e6cbecf93b88936511fff52\UtilityVM: The semaphore timeout period has expired.
Similarly, this shows up as in the log as well:
[WindowsDaemon ][Info ] Attempting next endpoint for pull after error: failed to register layer: re-exec error: exit status 1: output: ProcessUtilityVMImage \\?\C:\ProgramData\Docker\windowsfilter\ba6c398b95855526d12dc9745a53e353f92b0e276e67e24ff81d3ad126101a3b\UtilityVM: The semaphore timeout period has expired.
For the error where I cannot change to Linux containers, I see the following errors:
[VpnKit ][Error ] vpnkit.exe: Caught An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used.
