Where is the system tray icon?

The notification area (also called the "system tray") is located in the Windows Taskbar, usually at the bottom right corner. It contains miniature icons for easy access to system functions such as antivirus settings, printer, modem, sound volume, battery status, and more.

How do I enable Docker daemon in Windows?

To start Docker in daemon mode, choose Application > Start "Docker Daemon". The state should transition to "Running" after a few seconds and Docker Daemon should be accessible over the remote bridge. That's it! Next time your computer boots, Docker Daemon will start up immediately, before anyone logs on.

How do I switch to Windows containers?

To switch to Windows containers in Docker, right-click the Docker icon, and select Switch to Windows containers. To use the command line to switch between containers, run & $Env:ProgramFiles\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe -SwitchDaemon .

The following finally worked for me:

  1. Type "Docker" in the Windows search bar
  2. Right click -> Run as administrator
