Hi @Sonali_Shukla,

It looks like you’re encountering an issue during the installation of Docker Desktop on your Windows 10 Pro machine. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot and resolve the problem:

1. Check System Requirements:

Ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for Docker Desktop. These typically include:

  • 64-bit Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education (Build 15063 or later)
  • Hyper-V must be enabled in the BIOS settings
  • Virtualization must be enabled in the BIOS settings

2. Disable Hyper-V:

If Hyper-V is already enabled, try disabling it temporarily, and then attempt the Docker Desktop installation again. You can disable Hyper-V through the “Turn Windows features on or off” settings.

  1. Open the “Start” menu and search for “Windows Features.”
  2. Select “Turn Windows features on or off.”
  3. Uncheck “Hyper-V” from the list.
  4. Click “OK” and restart your computer.

3. Check Virtualization Support:

Ensure that virtualization support is enabled in your BIOS settings. The steps to access BIOS settings vary depending on your computer manufacturer, so refer to your device’s manual for instructions.

4. Uninstall Previous Versions:

If you have any previous versions of Docker installed, uninstall them before attempting to install Docker Desktop again.

5. Run as Administrator:

Right-click on the Docker Desktop installer and choose “Run as Administrator” to ensure that the installation has the necessary permissions.

6. Check Antivirus/Firewall:

Temporarily disable your antivirus and firewall during the installation process. Sometimes, security software can interfere with the installation.

7. Log File Analysis:

Check the installation log files for more detailed error messages. The log files are typically located in a directory like %APPDATA%\Docker. Look for files with names like install-desktop.log or similar.

8. Docker Desktop GitHub Issues:

Check the Docker Desktop GitHub repository for known issues and solutions. Other users might have encountered similar problems, and there could be resolutions or workarounds available.

Remember to re-enable any features or settings that you disabled for troubleshooting after completing the installation.

I hope this helps, and you can successfully install Docker Desktop on your Windows machine!
