After switchiung to Windows Container Docker dont start

[Roberto-vic]

Description

I'm learning to use Docker, and I have to make the switch from Linux Container to Windows Container, but as soon as I make the switch, Docker no longer connects.
If I want to make the switch, to go back to linux container, Docker Desktop closes, and when I reopen it gives me an error window, and I can no longer reopen the program

Reproduce

Right click to Docker Icons and select "switch to windows container.."

Expected behavior

Hi there!

Thanks for your report, I'll mark this as duplicate of #13709 and close the issue. We'll escalate this internally. So please follow updates on the other issue. Thanks!

Hey @Roberto-vic , I've been investigating this issue and have found that it isn't a duplicate.

From the diagnostics you provided I could see that you are running a Home edition of Windows. I found a small bug that causes the Switch to Windows Containers menu item to show, even if the edition of Windows is not supported.

I'm working on a fix and will update the ticket once it's confirmed.

Have a great day!
