Vagrant hangs on Windows 7

Question

vagrant up seems to hang on Windows 7

My Vagrant file

VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

ENV['VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER'] = 'docker'

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080, auto_correct: true

  config.vm.define "elk" do |elk|
    elk.vm.synced_folder "./www", "/var/www"
    elk.vm.provider "docker" do |d|
      d.build_dir = "./Docker"
    end
  end
end

vagrant up --debug
