By default, Docker Desktop is set to use 2 GB of your host's memory. To increase the RAM, set this to a higher number; to decrease it, lower the number. Swap. Configure swap file size as needed.
In a default installation, layers are stored in C:\ProgramData\docker and split across the "image" and "windowsfilter" directories. You can change where the layers are stored using the docker-root configuration, as demonstrated in the Docker Engine on Windows documentation.
From the Docker Desktop menu, you can toggle which daemon (Linux or Windows) the Docker CLI talks to. Select Switch to Windows containers to use Windows containers, or select Switch to Linux containers to use Linux containers (the default).
Seems you are Running Docker for Windows using "Windows Containers". If you switch to "Linux containers" you'll see "Shared Drives" option. Take a look this video.
According Docker documentation: shared drives for Windows containers is not implemented.
Volume mounting requires shared drives for Linux containers (not for Windows containers).
Update: Since 2018, Docker for Desktop is using a new UI. I recorded a new video showing how to solve this problem.
Update: If you are using WSL2 you will be experiencing same problem. Take a look this video.
