I'm having the same problem. I recently updated docker versions. I'm also running bridged network adapter.

Do you have a DOCKER_HOST environment variable?
If so, remove it and try again.

I checked and, yes, I did. It was referencing that IP address. I've removed the environment variable now and rebooted my laptop. I've tried docker run hello-world and now get a similar message with a localhost IP address:

C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin\docker.exe: error during connect: Post https://127.0.0.1:2376/v1.40/containers/create: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2376: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

If I run docker version I get:

Client: Docker Engine - Community
Version: 19.03.5
API version: 1.40
Go version: go1.12.12
Git commit: 633a0ea

So I figure I've got to get the correct IP address and then add it somewhere?

So, it seems my issue was related to this issue: #741

Removing DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY from my environment variables and then setting "Expose daemon on tcp://localhost:2375" in Docker. Reboot, and the running docker version, I get:

Open the port (2375) on the firewall. Worked for me.
