I am trying to install Docker Desktop to my Windows 10 Professional Build 19042 and receive an installation error even when trying to install as 'Administrator'.
Error: Component CommunityInstaller.ServiceAction failed: Failed to start service: Access is denied ...it is not clear to me what specifically Docker cannot access.
Curious to see if anyone has a solution to this issue.
You may need to add your account to the "docker-users" group. See https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/785, especially nfunky response on Aug 10, 2020. I used the following command and it resolved that problem for me where "username" is your Windows username: net localgroup "docker-users" "username" /add
According to the documentation, first you should control the requirements based on your operating system. Next, uninstall the older versions. For example if you are using windows OS, look at this picture
and make sure these items are active in advance.
plus, make sure Hyper-V is installed and working (check the link above). Finally, if you have this error message while opening the docker desktop:
You are not allowed to use Docker. You must be in the “docker-users” group
you should add your user to docker-users named group created under Computer Management/user and groups/groups. look at this link
