Pull Image with Docker on Windows 10 : "failed to register layer ....Denied Access"

Question

I'm trying to create docker containers in a Windows 10, but it always gives me the following

"failed to register layer: rename C: ....."

I can not find any thread to explain it, I´ve executed PS as a Administrator

I put the trace of the pull:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> docker pull microsoft/aspnet
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from microsoft/aspnet

Someone knows what´s the reason?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

OK I have been struggling with this little devil for a while now. I have windows containers working on my desktop, but on my new laptop it was giving me a hard time. I have changed permissions on all the C:\ProgramData\Docker folder at the beginning, to no avail. After a while I realized that there IS a difference between my desktop and the new laptop was the fact that the laptop came preinstalled with McAfee Antivirus. Now I'm not sure if it's a mcafee only issue, or in general antivirus, but when I disabled realtime scanning for a bit, I was able to download the new image without issues.
