Answer 1

For me, here is what I did to correct the error. Go to C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Hyper-V directory, right click on Hyper-V folder, select Properties, and un-check the Read Only checkbox and Apply changes. Next, in the Windows task bar right click on the red Docker icon, or if it is located in the hidden icons, select Quit, then restart it.

You can revert to docker version 17.09.1.14687. 17.12.0-ce-win46 and 17.12.0-ce-win47 have this error.
