C:\Users\Sidharth Chauhan>docker images 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.

THIS ERROR IS COMING FOR MOST OF THE COMMANDS

Hello. Seems your Docker VM is powered off, you need to turn on the docker VM in virtualbox to make the docker command works.
