Error Installing Docker Desktop for Windows 10

Question

Failed to start service: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion

I'm getting this error during install - the previous install hung and then onwards it does not complete successfully. Any idea how to repair this or cleanup and restart?

Answer 1

Disabling the power service worked for me too.

1. Open msconfig.exe in the windows menu bar
2. Go to the "services" tab
3. Start typing "power" and it will auto find the correct service.
4. Untick the checkbox
5. Restart your PC
6. Make sure you do not have any Docker installation files in your drive
7. Start the installation process again and hopefully that'll work for you

Answer 2

I have faced a similar issue and needed to do the following:

1. Uninstall.

2. If there are any leftovers, you should:

   • Run the RegEdit with Admin Rights.
   • Delete all remaining entries of Docker Desktop.

After this, I was able to install it properly. Also, I have noticed in my case, this situation has become repetitive in every update.

P.S.:

The power idea proposed in the previous answers didn't work in my case. Somehow, the installation got corrupted and couldn't run. This has happened more than once after Docker tries to update.

Answer 3

I had the same issue and seemed to start happening after the lasted window update.

I manage to solve the issue by stopping and disabling the "power" (Power management) window service. I did repeat the process two times and seemed to be a consistent issue, at least in my case. Be sure this service is not running, at least in my case it worked, hope this helps.

Answer 4

To anyone getting this error:

Component CommunityInstaller.EnableFeaturesAction failed

The fix for me was enabling this service:

Windows Modules Installer

Note I used a tool [1] to do this, but I think you can also just use the normal Services App.

Answer 5

I tried everything (reboot, different versions 2.5, 3.0, 3.3, power, disabling real-time protection). Only increasing timeout helped me:

1. Click Start, click Run, type Regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
4. In the right pane, locate the ServicesPipeTimeout entry. Note If the ServicesPipeTimeout entry does not exist, you must create it. To do this, follow these steps:

• On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
• Type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press ENTER.

5. Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.
6. Click decimal, type 60000, and then click OK.

I faced the same issue while installing Docker 3.5.0

Download failed: Could not find a part of the path ‘C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Temp\rzsiezg3p2h’. at CommunityInstaller.InstallWorkflow.d__23.MoveNext()

I resolved it by following these steps.

1. Download and install docker 2.5.0.1
2. After installation open docker desktop.
3. A pop-up appears to update docker to 3.4.0 (or later), click update.
4. Once updated you are ready to launch and play with docker desktop.

Alternately you can try downloading and installing docker 3.4.0 directly.
