You can powerShell as admin.
Run this code:
cd "C:Program FilesDockerDocker"
./DockerCli.exe -SwitchDaemon
Running Powershell with elevated access solved my issue.

Usually this error means the Docker daemon that is docker services is not up and running.
-
Make sure docker is running by issuing below command in power shell in elevated mode.
docker run hello-world
A response as hello from docker will be printed on console.
-
Else start the docker by double clicking the docker app from start menu.
Below is the snapshot of graphically up and running docker daemon.

On Windows, go to the folder %homepath%.docker
, open daemon.json
and if debug
is set to true
then set it to false
.
I had the same error as in the question and after I changed the above it worked again for me. After I got the error, I had been looking at the various docker settings and decided to set debug
to false
because I don’t need any daemon debug info for what I’m doing. I don’t know why it was set to true originally.

In my case, although I had the docker service running as admin and the service was shown as running, it was not.
Open the docker desktop app, click on the ‘troubleshoot’ icon. Check if the service is effectively running (bottom left). If it’s not, try to ‘clean/purge data’, and then restart the service. It worked for me!
Verify it by running docker run hello-world

This error is because of organisation network certificates which are installed in local machine. Beacuse some companies restricted network by installing certificates.

This did happen to me while i was using docker today for the first time. I fixed by opening up the docker app in the PC and signing and selecting the necessary subscription plan.

Open docker with docker <homepath>
. Simply upgrade docker and then run this command
docker-compose up -d
you will be able to solve the specified path error.
docker.errors.DockerException: Error while fetching server API version: (2, ‘CreateFile’, ‘The system cannot find the file specified.’)
[14620] Failed to execute script docker-compose
Doing the above solved the error.

Same issue: 601A73D6-300C-4099-96C4-1D1FE8D18493/20180917131950
I fixed this issue by settings the certificate environment variables (for SSH/TLS):
SET DOCKER_CERT_PATH=%UserProfile%.dockermachinemachinesHypervDefault
SET DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME=HypervDefault
SET DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.1.15:2376
SET DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1
The problem began when I created the «HypervDefault» machine, and deleted the «default» machine, which can be verified with docker-machine commands:
docker-machine ls
docker-machine env HypervDefault
FOR /f "tokens=*" %i IN ('docker-machine env HypervDefault') DO @%i
The above commands might need to run with Admin privileges (elevated), and make sure docker service is running: net start com.docker.service
. Then the docker commands can run well:
docker ps
docker image ls
docker container ls --all
P.S: If your local IP Address (NAT) changes, for example: 192.168.1.3 —> 192.168.1.15 ; you can re-generate the certs (and it will auto update config.json
for the machine respectively)

@blueyestar :
That line, I use the «HypervDefault» as the machine name. In default case , the name is «default» . I think you should check that. (and adjust the variable environment to default
respectively)
Another possibility is that some batch syntax (of cmd.exe
) might not be run by PowerShell. In new versions of Docker they will use PowerShell syntax , so I think you can check the actual to be used by using the default (no machine name):
That will have output as a hint about the loop command to set environment variables. (though usually it’s only the IP change need to be updated)

Especially on windows machine when you see the above error after a docker update, try the above commands. It appears like the Docker Desktop UI may indicate that you are already using Linux Containers, but the update may have messed up that setting. Running the above commands will set to Linux Containers and there after you can work happily.

This isn’t a workable solution to be honest for Linux containers users (assuming Docker is configured to use Linux containers), since it papers over an issue with Linux Containers by switching Docker over to use Windows containers.
There’s a problem with the interoperability of Docker, HyperV, Linux containers, and security levels (in my case) that are preventing me from making progress installing even the most basic docker containers (alpine, centos).
I’m going to look around a bit more for instructions, and if all else fails, screw it and install a Linux desktop on my corporate laptop in order to get my job done. I’ve been very disappointed with how much of a headache it’s been trying to get this to work on Windows, compared to OSX where everything «just worked out of the box».

As noted previously, this switches Docker from Linux to Windows containers. This doesn’t likely fix the underlying issue; it only papers over the fact that there’s an issue with HyperV interacting with Docker.
I’ll see if I can get Docker to work with my Windows 10 Pro desktop, given that I no longer have access to the machine that I ran into the original issues with.

This is an issue for me i downloaded the latest docker and Terraform. I cant use the Docker provider because the docker_host value isnt working ive look everywhere tried all solutions:
- turn on experimental cli mode
- using localhost as docker host
- using named pipe as docker host

- using dockertools for docker-machine to see VM host value
after using docker machine and creating a VM i noticed the VM was using IPv6? what does this mean

And also was able to run the image hello-world as: PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> docker run hello-world
Cool, thanks for the help and guide…
For anyone else reading this thread, the error message is coming from HyperV.
Running pre-create checks…
Error with pre-create check: «This computer doesn’t have VT-X/AMD-v enabled. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory»
Looks like something went wrong in step ´Checking if machine default exists´… Press any key to continue..
cd "C:Program FilesDockerDocker" ./DockerCli.exe -SwitchDaemon
In Powershell elevated access solved my issue.
This is the solution. Juste wait sill docker service notifies before trying your docker command again

Introduction
This article is focusing on how to solve an error message appear on executing a docker command. The execution of this docker command occur in Microsoft Windows operating system. The following is the execution of it :
C:mydocker-build>docker build --tag hello-world:latest . error during connect: In the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run with elevated privileges to connect.: Post "http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.24/build?buildargs=%7B%7D&cachefrom=%5B%5D&cgroupparent=&cpuperiod=0&cpuquota=0&cpusetcpus=&cpusetmems=&cpushares=0&dockerfile=Dockerfile&labels=%7B%7D&memory=0&memswap=0&networkmode=default&rm=1&shmsize=0&t=hello-world%3Alatest&target=&ulimits=null&version=1": open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified. C:mydocker-build>
Actually, there is a little bit of additional condition appears. The following are those conditions :
-
It is when the PC or the laptop running using Microsoft Windows operating system is going for a shut down before.
-
But the shut down process fail and it stay in a screensaver locked mode.
-
After logging back to the PC or laptop, execute the above command.
-
But the result of the execution ends in a failure.
Solution
So, how to solve it ?. The answer is very easy. Just start the docker service once more. Make sure that the docker service is running. The following are the steps to do it :
-
Just type ‘docker’ in the search field as in the following image :
How to Solve Error Message error during connect: In the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run with elevated privileges to connect when running Docker command Just click and run the Docker Desktop application as exist in the above image of the result search.
-
The following Docker Desktop application will appear :

If the above Docker Desktop app is running, try to execute the docker command once more. If there are no error message, the process for building docker image will run normally as it exist below :

Today in this article, we will see resolution steps for errors like the docker daemon is not running.
Issue Description
Docker daemon fails to start up on Windows or stops for some reason and when you try to run any commands:
error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.30/info: open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified. In the default daemon configuration on Windows,

OR
if you see any of the below errors while running,
Today we will cover the below resolution as a possible fix to the issue,
- Resolution 1: Restart Docker service
- Other options for Restart -Docker services
- Resolution 2: DockerCli.exe -SwitchDaemon configuration
- Resolution 3 – Restart the docker service using GUI
- Resolution 4 – Firewall settings
- Resolution 5 – Restart
Resolution 1: Restart Docker service
This error meant the docker daemon is unreachable. Docker daemon fails to start up on Windows or stops for some reason and especially when you try to run any commands.
To fix such types of issues restarting the service will resolve the error. If not please check the resolution steps 2 as explained below.

Please check and validate if the docker is working fine. If not please use a few other options as mentioned below.
Resolution 2: DockerCli.exe -SwitchDaemon configuration
It could be possible that your Docker CLI is not properly configured for Windows or Linux.
Please use the below commands to point the Docker CLI to either Linux containers or Windows containers.
From Power Shell:
PS C:Program FilesDockerDocker> ./DockerCli.exe -SwitchDaemon
Please check and validate if the docker is working fine. If not please use a few other options as mentioned below.
Resolution 3 – Restart the docker service using GUI
Using Docker Desktop GUI from Settings -> Reset – Restart Docker Desktop.
Once started successfully you shall see a green running icon as below,
Please check and validate if the docker is working fine. If not please use a few other options as mentioned below.
Resolution 4 – Firewall settings
Please check your security software if it is blocking the docker to create a network interface. You should also check firewall software to not block any installation or configuration.
Resolution 5 – Restart

If you have installed Docker Desktop on Windows you may come across the following error:
error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.40/images/json: open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified. In the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run elevated to connect. This error may also indicate that the docker daemon is not running.
If you try to start or restart the service, you may see an error window appear, similar to this:
You may wish to Reset to factory defaults
but this will likely not resolve the problem for you.
What you may find the fix to be is to switch the daemon between Linux and Windows Containers.
Firstly, change the working directory to: c:Program FilesDockerDocker
.
Next, in order to switch the daemon, run .DockerCli.exe -SwitchDaemon
. Note that you will likely need to run this command twice in order to switch back to the installed(preferred) daemon:
As soon as the command successfully runs, a notification will appear to confirm that Docker Desktop is up and running.
cd "C:Program FilesDockerDocker" ; ./DockerCli.exe -SwitchDaemon
