Hi @Daksha,
Try to run Docker Desktop as Administrator

Daksha:
yes I did

Daksha:
the power shell was opened with admin only

Mouhamadou Moustapha Camara:
On your screenshot i see also that Docker Desktop is not up, can you please check if you’re some alert Memory issue …

@dakshayini.sathyanar whenever you experienced an issue like this it is a result of your docker desktop not running on your host machine. Always ensure you power on your docker desktop to avoid this.
