Windows: Unable to start docker

Docker Desktop for Windows

Here is what I see when I run the Quickstart terminal. What am I doing wrong?:
Error checking TLS connection: Something went wrong running an SSH command!
command : ip addr show
err : exit status 255
output :

With Docker for Windows, you shouldn’t need to use the quickstart (it’s probably left over from your Docker Toolbox installation). See the getting started guide: https://beta.docker.com/docs/windows/getting-started/

I am using documentation at docs.docker.com/windows/step_one/ which is non-beta. It clearly mentions quickstart.

So you’re not using Docker for Windows, but Docker Toolbox?

That is right. I am using Toolbox. Wasn’t aware there is something different for Windows. Would like to use something that is not beta

So far I know the Docker Toolbox is for PCs that do not support Hyper-V and can use VirtualBox instead (Virtualisation still needs to be enabled though from BIOS). I am facing the exact issue pointed above. Another strange part is that ruiing docker version command tells me the version of Docker as 1.12.6 though I call that during setup the toolbox told me that v1.13.0 is the latest and hence even downloaded the correct boot2docker.iso file (I am hoping that this version is not the Docker version then). Any clues?
