Docker for Windows Server 2016 requires update KB3176936

Question

I want to install Docker on a physical Windows Server 2016 Datacenter Evaluation (Version 14393). I tried following the instructions from Quick Start Windows Server but installation fails: Error message

The docker installer requires update KB3176936, which I installed then. Even after rebooting, the error message persists and I can't install docker.

I've enabled the Container feature and Hyper-V in Windows Feature Selection.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I've could sucessfully setup docker on Windows 10.

You need to do a full Windows Update. I actually have a PR to add this step to the docs.

Run sconfig, then choose option 6 and then A and A to install all updates. This works for Server 2016 in no-desktop installs as well as with the UI.
