How to install Docker (WSL) on Hyper-V?

Hello to the forum,

When I want to install Docker or a Linux operating system in Hyper-V, the process regularly aborts.

The WSL environment does not work with Docker.

Docker then always starts with an error message; the research in the Docker FAQ has unfortunately not helped me. It also seems to me to be a settings problem in Hyper-V.

How can I solve the problem?

Many thanks for your support!

    Hi Kay,

    Hope you're doing well.

    Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

    1. Ensure that your Hyper-V environment is properly configured for virtualization.
    2. If the issue persists, you can try deleting all MobyLinuxVM virtual machines from Hyper-V Manager and restarting Docker.
    3. If the above steps do not work, you can try running Docker in Windows Containers by right-clicking on the Docker system tray icon and selecting "Switch to Windows Containers".

    Here are some relevant documents for you reference:

    I hope this helps!

    Best Regards,
