* **Reset Kubernetes cluster**: Select this option to delete all stacks and Kubernetes resources. For more information, see [Kubernetes](index.md#kubernetes).
* **Clean / Purge data**: Select this option to delete container and image data. Choose whether you'd like to delete data from Hyper-V, WSL 2, or Windows Containers and then click **Delete** to confirm.
* **Reset to factory defaults**: Choose this option to reset all options on
Docker Desktop to their initial state, the same as when Docker Desktop was first installed.
## Diagnose and feedback
### In-app diagnostics
If you experience issues for which you do not find solutions in this
documentation, on [Docker Desktop for Windows issues on
GitHub](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues), or the [Docker Desktop for Windows
forum](https://forums.docker.com/c/docker-for-windows), we can help you
troubleshoot the log data. Before reporting an issue, we recommend that you read the information provided on this page to fix some common known issues.
1. Choose ![whale menu](images/whale-x.png){: .inline} > **Troubleshoot**
from the menu.
2. Sign into Docker Desktop. In addition, ensure you are signed into your [Docker account](https://hub.docker.com/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_"}.
3. Click **Get Support**. This opens the in-app **Diagnose & Support** (**Diagnose & Feedback** for free users) page and starts collecting the diagnostics.
![Diagnose & Support](images/diagnose-support.png){:width="600px"}
4. When the diagnostics collection process is complete, click **Upload** to upload your diagnostics to Docker Desktop.
5. When the diagnostics have been uploaded, Docker Desktop prints a Diagnostic ID. Copy this ID.
6. If you have subscribed to a Pro or a Team plan, click **Get support**. This opens the [Docker Desktop support](https://hub.docker.com/support/desktop/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_"} form. Fill in the information required and add the ID you copied earlier to the Diagnostics ID field. Click **Submit** to request Docker Desktop support.
> **Note**
>
> You must be signed in to Docker Desktop using your Pro or Team plan credentials to access the support form. For information on what's covered as part of Docker Desktop support, see [Support](#support).
7. If you are not subscribed to a Pro or a team plan, you can click **Upgrade your account** to upgrade your existing account.
Alternatively, click **Report an issue** to open a new Docker Desktop issue on GitHub. This opens Docker Desktop [for Windows](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/) on GitHub in your web browser in a 'New issue' template. Complete the information required and ensure you add the diagnostic ID you copied earlier. Click **submit new issue** to create a new issue.
### Diagnosing from the terminal
On occasions it is useful to run the diagnostics yourself, for instance if
Docker Desktop for Windows cannot start.
First locate the `com.docker.diagnose`, that should be in `C:\Program
Files\Docker\Docker\resources\com.docker.diagnose.exe`.
To create *and upload* diagnostics in Powershell, run:
```powershell
PS C:\> & "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\com.docker.diagnose.exe" gather -upload
```
After the diagnostics have finished, you should have the following output,
containing your diagnostic ID:
```sh
Diagnostics Bundle: C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\CD6CF862-9CBD-4007-9C2F-5FBE0572BBC2\20180720152545.zip
Diagnostics ID: CD6CF862-9CBD-4007-9C2F-5FBE0572BBC2/20180720152545 (uploaded)
```
## Troubleshooting topics
### Make sure certificates are set up correctly
Docker Desktop ignores certificates listed under insecure registries, and
does not send client certificates to them. Commands like `docker run` that
attempt to pull from the registry produces error messages on the command line,
like this:
```
Error response from daemon: Get http://192.168.203.139:5858/v2/: malformed HTTP response "\x15\x03\x01\x00\x02\x02"
```
As well as on the registry. For example:
```
2017/06/20 18:15:30 http: TLS handshake error from 192.168.203.139:52882: tls: client didn't provide a certificate
2017/06/20 18:15:30 http: TLS handshake error from 192.168.203.139:52883: tls: first record does not look like a TLS handshake
```
For more about using client and server side certificates, see
[How do I add custom CA certificates?](index.md#how-do-i-add-custom-ca-certificates)
and [How do I add client certificates?](index.md#how-do-i-add-client-certificates) in the
Getting Started topic.
### Volumes
#### Permissions errors on data directories for shared volumes
When sharing files from Windows, Docker Desktop sets permissions on [shared volumes](index.md#file-sharing)
to a default value of [0777](http://permissions-calculator.org/decode/0777/)
(`read`, `write`, `execute` permissions for `user` and for `group`).
The default permissions on shared volumes are not configurable. If you are
working with applications that require permissions different from the shared
volume defaults at container runtime, you need to either use non-host-mounted
volumes or find a way to make the applications work with the default file
permissions.
See also,
[Can I change permissions on shared volumes for container-specific deployment requirements?](faqs.md#can-i-change-permissions-on-shared-volumes-for-container-specific-deployment-requirements)
in the FAQs.
#### Volume mounting requires shared folders for Linux containers
If you are using mounted volumes and get runtime errors indicating an
application file is not found, access is denied to a volume mount, or a service
cannot start, such as when using [Docker Compose](../compose/gettingstarted.md),
you might need to enable [shared folders](index.md#file-sharing).
With the Hyper-V backend, mounting files from Windows requires shared folders for Linux containers. Click ![whale menu](images/whale-x.png){: .inline}
and then **Settings** > **Shared Folders** and share the folder that contains the
Dockerfile and volume.
#### Support for symlinks
Symlinks work within and across containers. To learn more, see [How do symlinks work on Windows?](faqs.md#how-do-symlinks-work-on-windows) in the FAQs.
#### Avoid unexpected syntax errors, use Unix style line endings for files in containers
Any file destined to run inside a container must use Unix style `\n` line
endings. This includes files referenced at the command line for builds and in
RUN commands in Docker files.
Docker containers and `docker build` run in a Unix environment, so files in
containers must use Unix style line endings: `\n`, _not_ Windows style: `\r\n`.
Keep this in mind when authoring files such as shell scripts using Windows
tools, where the default is likely to be Windows style line endings. These
commands ultimately get passed to Unix commands inside a Unix based container
(for example, a shell script passed to `/bin/sh`). If Windows style line endings
are used, `docker run` fails with syntax errors.
For an example of this issue and the resolution, see this issue on GitHub:
[Docker RUN fails to execute shell
script](https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/24388).
### Virtualization
Your machine must have the following features for Docker Desktop to function correctly.
#### WSL 2 and Windows Home
1. Virtual Machine Platform
2. [Windows Subsystem for Linux](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10){:target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_"}
3. Virtualization enabled in the BIOS
4. Hypervisor enabled at Windows startup
![WSL 2 enabled](images/wsl2-enabled.png){:width="600px"}
#### Hyper-V
On Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise, you can also use Hyper-V with the following features enabled:
1. [Hyper-V](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/hyper-v-technology-overview){:target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_"}
installed and working
2. Virtualization enabled in the BIOS
3. Hypervisor enabled at Windows startup
![Hyper-V on Windows features](images/hyperv-enabled.png){:width="600px"}
Docker Desktop requires Hyper-V as well as the Hyper-V Module for Windows
Powershell to be installed and enabled. The Docker Desktop installer enables
it for you.
Docker Desktop also needs two CPU hardware features to use Hyper-V: Virtualization and Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), which is also called Rapid Virtualization Indexing (RVI). On some systems, Virtualization must be enabled in the BIOS. The steps required are vendor-specific, but typically the BIOS option is called `Virtualization Technology (VTx)` or something similar. Run the command `systeminfo` to check all required Hyper-V features. See [Pre-requisites for Hyper-V on Windows 10](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/reference/hyper-v-requirements) for more details.
To install Hyper-V manually, see [Install Hyper-V on Windows 10](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyperv_on_windows/quick_start/walkthrough_install). A reboot is *required* after installation. If you install Hyper-V without rebooting, Docker Desktop does not work correctly.
From the start menu, type **Turn Windows features on or off** and press enter.
In the subsequent screen, verify that Hyper-V is enabled.
#### Virtualization must be enabled
In addition to [Hyper-V](#hyper-v) or [WSL 2](wsl.md), virtualization must be enabled. Check the
Performance tab on the Task Manager:
![Task Manager](images/virtualization-enabled.png){:width="700px"}
If you manually uninstall Hyper-V, WSL 2 or disable virtualization,
Docker Desktop cannot start. See [Unable to run Docker for Windows on
Windows 10 Enterprise](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/74).
#### Hypervisor enabled at Windows startup
If you have completed the steps described above and are still experiencing
Docker Desktop startup issues, this could be because the Hypervisor is installed,
but not launched during Windows startup. Some tools (such as older versions of
Virtual Box) and video game installers disable hypervisor on boot. To reenable it:
1. Open an administrative console prompt.
2. Run `bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto`.
3. Restart Windows.
You can also refer to the [Microsoft TechNet article](https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ee5b1d6b-09e2-49f3-a52c-820aafc316f9/hyperv-doesnt-work-after-upgrade-to-windows-10-1809?forum=win10itprovirt){:target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_"} on Code flow guard (CFG) settings.
### Windows containers and Windows Server
Docker Desktop is not supported on Windows Server. If you have questions about how to run Windows containers on Windows 10, see
[Switch between Windows and Linux containers](index.md#switch-between-windows-and-linux-containers).
A full tutorial is available in [docker/labs](https://github.com/docker/labs) on
[Getting Started with Windows Containers](https://github.com/docker/labs/blob/master/windows/windows-containers/README.md).
You can install a native Windows binary which allows you to develop and run
Windows containers without Docker Desktop. However, if you install Docker this way, you cannot develop or run Linux containers. If you try to run a Linux container on the native Docker daemon, an error occurs:
```none
C:\Program Files\Docker\docker.exe:
image operating system "linux" cannot be used on this platform.
See 'C:\Program Files\Docker\docker.exe run --help'.
```
### Running Docker Desktop in nested virtualization scenarios
Docker Desktop can run inside a Windows 10 VM running on apps like Parallels or VMware Fusion on a Mac provided that the VM is properly configured. However, problems and intermittent failures may still occur due to the way these apps virtualize the hardware. For these reasons, _**Docker Desktop is not supported in nested virtualization scenarios**_. It might work
in some cases, and not in others.
For best results, we recommend you run Docker Desktop natively on a Windows system (to work with Windows or Linux containers), or on Mac to work with Linux containers.
#### If you still want to use nested virtualization
* Make sure nested virtualization support is enabled in VMWare or Parallels.
Check the settings in **Hardware > CPU & Memory > Advanced Options > Enable
nested virtualization** (the exact menu sequence might vary slightly).
* Configure your VM with at least 2 CPUs and sufficient memory to run your
workloads.
* Make sure your system is more or less idle.
* Make sure your Windows OS is up-to-date. There have been several issues with
some insider builds.
* The processor you have may also be relevant. For example, Westmere based Mac
Pros have some additional hardware virtualization features over Nehalem based
Mac Pros and so do newer generations of Intel processors.
#### Typical failures we see with nested virtualization
* Slow boot time of the Linux VM. If you look in the logs and find some entries
prefixed with `Moby`. On real hardware, it takes 5-10 seconds to boot the
Linux VM; roughly the time between the `Connected` log entry and the `*
Starting Docker ... [ ok ]` log entry. If you boot the Linux VM inside a
Windows VM, this may take considerably longer. We have a timeout of 60s or so.
If the VM hasn't started by that time, we retry. If the retry fails we print
an error. You can sometimes work around this by providing more resources to
the Windows VM.
* Sometimes the VM fails to boot when Linux tries to calibrate the time stamp
counter (TSC). This process is quite timing sensitive and may fail when
executed inside a VM which itself runs inside a VM. CPU utilization is also
likely to be higher.
* Ensure "PMU Virtualization" is turned off in Parallels on Macs. Check the
settings in **Hardware > CPU & Memory > Advanced Settings > PMU
Virtualization**.
### Networking issues
IPv6 is not (yet) supported on Docker Desktop.
## Workarounds
### Reboot
Restart your PC to stop / discard any vestige of the daemon running from the
previously installed version.
### Unset `DOCKER_HOST`
The `DOCKER_HOST` environmental variable does not need to be set. If you use
bash, use the command `unset ${!DOCKER_*}` to unset it. For other shells,
consult the shell's documentation.
### Make sure Docker is running for webserver examples
For the `hello-world-nginx` example and others, Docker Desktop must be
running to get to the webserver on `http://localhost/`. Make sure that the
Docker whale is showing in the menu bar, and that you run the Docker commands in
a shell that is connected to the Docker Desktop Engine. Otherwise, you might start the webserver container but get a "web page
not available" error when you go to `docker`.
### How to solve `port already allocated` errors
If you see errors like `Bind for 0.0.0.0:8080 failed: port is already allocated`
or `listen tcp:0.0.0.0:8080: bind: address is already in use` ...
These errors are often caused by some other software on Windows using those
ports. To discover the identity of this software, either use the `resmon.exe`
GUI and click "Network" and then "Listening Ports" or in a Powershell use
`netstat -aon | find /i "listening "` to discover the PID of the process
currently using the port (the PID is the number in the rightmost column). Decide
whether to shut the other process down, or to use a different port in your
docker app.
### Docker Desktop fails to start when anti-virus software is installed
Some anti-virus software may be incompatible with Hyper-V and Microsoft
Windows 10 builds. The conflict
typically occurs after a Windows update and
manifests as an error response from the Docker daemon and a Docker Desktop start failure.
For a temporary workaround, uninstall the anti-virus software, or
explore other workarounds suggested on Docker Desktop forums.
