Windows (2004) - Docker Desktop (2.1.0) stops working randomly during use.

[Malunke]

Dear all,

I have the same problem, statet here (https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/4383) - but this issue is locked.

It is the newest Windows 10 Pro as well as the newest Docker-Engine.

The behavior started round aboud 11.09.2020.

It is a VirtualMachine (VMWare ESXi) with only Windows 10 Pro and Docker installed (as well as one docker image (bitwarden) - no other software is installed.

Suddenly bitwarden stops working (it can be reactivated when restarting docker or restarting windows - but it will stuck between 5 minutes to 60 minutes after reboot/restart docker).

`PS C:\users\admin> .\bitwarden.ps1 -restart

After a lot of reading and testing it seems to be caused by VMWare Tools

I have installed MVWareTools 11.0.5

After disabling (VMwareToolboxCmd.exe config set appinfo disabled true) appinfo docker seems to work stable. (It doesn't hung up for 12 hours until now)

I Had the same problem where Docker with Linux containers on Windows Server 2019 (1908) would freeze randomly after 10-15 minutes. VMWare Tools v. 11265 (11.0.1) seems to be the culprit. After uninstalling VMware Tools entirely from the VM the problem is gone. Docker is stable for 48+ hours now.
