The windowsfilter storage driver is the default storage driver for Docker
Engine on Windows. The windowsfilter driver uses Windows-native file system
layers to for storing Docker layers and volume data on disk. The windowsfilter
storage driver only works on file systems formatted with NTFS.

I don't know if there's more in-depth information about the underlying technology (perhaps @StefanScherer knows?).

We could provide a link to Microsoft's container documentation, which has some (but limited) info; https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/manage-containers/container-storage
