I was trying many ways. Reinstall many time. But I am not able to run docker windows container.
I use windows 11
Docker version : 4.20.1
In my machine
linux container
works. But when I switch to windows one it give me following error when I run docker version command.
error during connect: in the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run with elevated privileges to connect: Get “http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.24/version”: open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified.
Client:
Cloud integration: v1.0.33
Version: 24.0.2

Are you trying this with an admin account?
If your admin account is different to your user account, you must add the user to the
docker-users
group. Run
Computer Management
as an
administrator
and navigate to
Local Users and Groups
>
Groups
>
docker-users
. Right-click to add the user to the group. Log out and log back in for the changes to take effect.
I know you wrote Linux containers work, but maybe that doesn’t require an admin account because in case of the WSL backend. I am guessing, because I rarely work on Windows.
Thanks for reply.
I can not able to see any user group in computer management. And also I use only one user which one is admin.
I was getting the same issue solved it by simple steps
Just open docker desktop–>settings–>general–>tick the field expose daemon on tcp–>apply&restart
That’s it now run your command in terminal most probably it will word.
