Hi there, I am new to docker and learning it. I am facing below issue after installing docker on windows and runnig the docker command. link https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/.
Error - “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/containers/create”: open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified.”
could you help to identify what is the issue?

Hi @Daksha,
Try to run Docker Desktop as Administrator
Daksha:

Daksha:
the power shell was opened with admin only
Mouhamadou Moustapha Camara:

@dakshayini.sathyanar whenever you experienced an issue like this it is a result of your docker desktop not running on your host machine. Always ensure you power on your docker desktop to avoid this.
