Solution: Restart Docker service Docker daemon fails to start up on Windows or stops for some reason and especially when you try to run any commands. To fix such types of issues restarting the service will resolve the error. This will open the Services Windows GUI. Please restart the Docker Desktop Service.
The operating-system independent way to check whether Docker is running is to ask Docker, using the docker info command. You can also use operating system utilities, such as sudo systemctl is-active docker or sudo status docker or sudo service docker status , or checking the service status using Windows utilities.
You can powerShell as admin.
Run this code:
cd "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker"
./DockerCli.exe -SwitchDaemon
Running Powershell with elevated access solved my issue.
