Facing the same issue too!

Okay, I got docker running now.

I checked on Task Manager to see whether Virtualization is disabled or not. (It was disabled for some reason), Had to boot into the BIOS and enabled it and restarted my system.

Docker now opens and runs without any issue.

Check if Virtualization is disabled for you.

Open Task Manager -> Performance -> You should see it under the CPU tab.

I am experiencing the same issue, however I have Virtualization enabled and it persists. I can unreliably get it to launch, but if it shuts down or i have to restart, back to the basics. I have done all but completely reinstall windows and it has me beat.

@AvidCuberCoding weird. Maybe try disabling Virtualization first, launch docker and then enable it again and see if that helps?
