I am running Docker on Windows Subsystem for Linux (ubuntu16.04)
I am not able to run Docker after I installed docker-ce on WSL
Docker is installed but not running.

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
yong@DESKTOP-0BK189N:~$

Please find me the clue to do this.
When I was using it on Google Cloud Platform (VM ubuntu16.04) there was no such issue.

I’m not sure about that but I think hardware assisted virtualization and data execution protection must be enabled in the BIOS. See https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/troubleshoot/#virtualization-must-be-enabled
