That's odd, I've never seen that before. Is it listed in the Windows settings "Set which icons appear on the taskbar"?

eliassal commented 4 years ago

Yes

stephen-turner commented 4 years ago

And does toggling it to On in the settings make any difference?

eliassal commented 4 years ago

This is what I did, however, I have Docker desktop on this machine and icon was displayed correctly until recently. Also, As I said I did an update to the latest edge version

eliassal commented 4 years ago

Stephen, while waiting to find the root of the issue, is there a powershell command to switch between windows and linux containers?

stephen-turner commented 4 years ago

I don't have an answer to the missing icon. I am on the latest Edge and the whale shows up fine. And we haven't had any other reports of it.

On your other question, no, sorry, you have to switch using the UI. Are you switching frequently?

eliassal commented 4 years ago

Yesm I need to switch to linux contaniers as i have a .net core project and needs DD in linux mode

Faced the same issue because I ignored WSL 2 installation. Here are the steps I performed.

Uninstalled Docker
Restart the machine
Install the docker
Install the WSL 2 which installed using a separate MSI update package.
Restart

Found the docker whale icon in the system tray.
