Hypervisor enabled at Windows startup\n\nHyper-V on Windows features\n\nDocker Desktop requires Hyper-V as well as the Hyper-V Module for Windows PowerShell to be installed and enabled. The Docker Desktop installer enables it for you.\n\nDocker Desktop also needs two CPU hardware features to use Hyper-V: Virtualization and Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), which is also called Rapid Virtualization Indexing (RVI). On some systems, Virtualization must be enabled in the BIOS. The steps required are vendor-specific, but typically the BIOS option is called Virtualization Technology (VTx) or something similar. Run the command systeminfo to check all required Hyper-V features. See Pre-requisites for Hyper-V on Windows 10 for more details.\n\nTo install Hyper-V manually, see Install Hyper-V on Windows 10. A reboot is required after installation. If you install Hyper-V without rebooting, Docker Desktop does not work correctly.\n\nFrom the start menu, type Turn Windows features on or off and press enter. In the subsequent screen, verify that Hyper-V is enabled.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
