docker-compose from Github Action (self-hosted runner) throwing error: Access is denied

If anyone can provide any help or suggestions with the following I'd be very grateful, I've tried to include the debugging steps I've already taken.

Issue: When attempting to run docker-compose up --build --scale cypress=3 --force-recreate from a Github Action step on a self-hosted runner, I get the following error:

error during connect: This error may indicate that the docker daemon is not running.: Get "http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.24/version": open //./pipe/docker_engine: Access is denied.

Code snippet:

name: Test build

  workflow_dispatch:
  pull_request:
    types:
      - opened
      - synchronize
      - reopened

    steps:       
      - name: Stop w3 service
        run: net stop w3svc

          clean: false

      - name: Setup node
        uses: actions/setup-node@v2
        with:
          node-version: '16'

# Build and publish application steps...

      - name: Run Cypress Tests
        run: |
          cd $Env:GITHUB_WORKSPACE\Tests\
          & docker version
          & docker-compose up --build --scale cypress=3 --force-recreate  

Debugging steps taken:

1. Running docker version on the step outputs the following which seems to suggest docker daemon is running:

Client:
Cloud integration: v1.0.28
Version:           20.10.17
API version:       1.41
Go version:        go1.17.11
Git commit:        100c701
Built:             Mon Jun  6 23:09:02 2022
OS/Arch:           windows/amd64
Context:           default
Experimental:      true

2. I've run docker-compose up --build --scale cypress=3 --force-recreate whilst remoted onto the self-hosted running, the command is successful.
