Hi Microsoft Team / Community
I am writing here in the community to reach for answers and recommendations for my problem that has been an issue.
I am currently trying to install the docker desktop on our AzureVM, I have followed every step and requirement but am still getting errors. I have already tried with 3 VMs and still getting the same error.
Below is the error that I am getting
I have already reviewed the installed features required and the expectation is that the installation should be like a walk in the park, yet I am still struggling to sort this out. below are the features enabled
VM Details
Hoping to get some feedback regarding my issue, I have been trying to resolve this for quite sometime now
Thank you and regards
Hi, Jamestar
Because the Azure Virtual Machine, is already virtulized - you need to make sure you are using a SKU that supports nested virtualization.
This is worth a read as well: Run Docker Desktop in a Windows or VDI environment.
Hi @Luke Murray
The size that I am using for my AzureVM supports nested virtualization, it uses
Standard D4s V3 which I have checked and confirmed that it supports nested virtualization.
I have already provisioned different servers that support nested virtualization but still getting the error pertaining to the Hyper V Components are not running.
please refer to my screenshot attached
Hello @Luke Murray , the sku is already configured to support nested virtualization please see attached image for the size that was used.

I believe I found the issue.
The issue is not with the SKU, but Trusted Launch - features of Gen2 machines.
Recreate the Virtual Machine, with Standard:
Under Unsupported features is:
I've successfully got Hyper-V running on a Gen2 Standard_D4s_v3, with a Standard security type.
Thank you @Luke Murray , I tried it out and it is working as expected thank you so much for your help. appreciate it
I had the same problem, and my solution was to do the following:
