I have installed latest Docker Desktop. Currently unable to switch to Windows container. The option is blocked from task bar : Option is disabled from Docker Desktop

I am running Windows 10 Home 64-bit Build 19042.

docker-desktop windows-10 docker

You need windows 10 Pro or Enterprise to have access to Windows containers.

The other answer will indeed switch your daemon mode to Windows, but you will not be able to pull any Windows container.

Update 2022: The link above now mentions that it should work for

  • Windows 11 64-bit: Home or Pro version 21H2 or higher, or Enterprise or Education version 21H2 or higher.
  • Windows 10 64-bit: Home or Pro 21H1 (build 19043) or higher, or Enterprise or Education 20H2 (build 19042) or higher.
