Unable to view Docker Desktop Settings in Windows 10

Docker Hub
1

Hello, I have installed Docker Desktop (2.1.0.5) in Windows 10. Unfortunately, I am unable to view the Settings when I right click on Whale icon in System Tray.

Earlier I had faced the same issue but after couple of uninstall /re-install and couple of restart it had worked.
Other thing what I had observed is that if Enable Windows Container during installation, I can view the Settings but when I switch to Linux Containers, Right click on Whale Icon do not open up Settings.
But I can execute Docker related commands.

Can you please suggest.

Thanks in advance.

hey,

I have exactly the same prolem, and so far I’ve tried every single solution named in this github thread, but still no success.

I also downgraded my docker’s version but still nothing. It would be great if someone from the docker hub can answer.

Regards

I am experiencing the same problems with Docker Desktop 3.3.3 and Win 10 Pro, 21H1. Reinstalling Docker did not help.

I’ve been experiencing the same problem; has anyone figured this out yet?

Hello Luis,

strange behaviour on my side:
tested right now on my notebook (Win10 21H1) and had the same issue - right-click was not working.
Double-left-click was working fine and Docker-Window opened.
Afterwards the right-click on the whale-icon was working again.
Doesn’t make sense, but maybe it helps as a workaround for others? :crazy_face:

Best regards
Matthias :slight_smile:

Hello,

In my case, I selected to use WSL during install. By default, I was missing the WSL 2 kernel update found here. After the install I was able to open settings and the docker engine started.

Sincerely,
Peter
