if it doesn't work as in the video, just delete the docker folder, open the docker desktop application, a dialog box will open, click start and that's it.

Dude thank you for this tip. It solved my issue where I could not restart my PC and wanted to get docker started by any means to debug a piece of code... Thank you :)

[@user-fw7ho5pj2i]

For me it was locked-directories file which was apparently broken. You saved me lots of hours by giving this hint! Why this stupid docker breaks its own files?? I started hating it even before I used it

I think I have found the solution. Have you done any disk clean-up recently?

What works for me is some of the settings got deleted so I deleted the .docker folder along with The Docker folder in the video. After that start docker desktop to let the program re-initialize everything again.
