Same issue for me.

keiwanjamaly commented 4 years ago

Does any of you guys has a fix for this? I cannot work anymore.

AquaeAtrae commented 4 years ago

Same here on a fresh build of Windows 10 Enterprise with WSL 2 integration, running Docker Desktop 2.3.0.5 (48029) stable.

Checking the system environment for %PATH%, it includes... C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin (with com.docker.cli.exe and other binaries) C:\ProgramData\DockerDesktop\version-bin (with docker.exe)

AquaeAtrae commented 4 years ago

I found others describing similar problems, one suggesting a recent Windows Quality Update could be reverted. I tried that but was unable.

However, for whatever reason, after restarting I how see that Docker Desktop started normally. I'm not sure if my failed attempt to roll back the latest Windows Quality Update helped or if the problem is just intermittent.

Adding C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin to the system PATH and restarting Docker resolved this for me.

Adding C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin to the system PATH and restarting Docker resolved this for me.

Thanks for your answer, this solution resolved for me too. Just an observation, when I add C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin docker is not recognize in cmd, to use docker ps add C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources folder to PATH too. :D

Thanks my friend, that solved it for me as well :)

osopromadze commented 4 years ago

Thanks @tonymke, worked for me too 👍 I think that reason was last update of Docker.
