Docker for Windows 10 Experiencing Random Freezes #3815
Comments
Hello. Same problem here. Whenever I start docker desktop, windows freezes randomly. |
Any updates on this? Experiencing similar issues |
Apparently not. |
We're experiencing similar issues specifically with Windows / Hyper-V/ Docker |
Me too. |
I'm also getting these hangups, it can take up to 5 minutes. My CPU is running normal 6%. All of the docker processes are normal. This happens if I try to restart/stop or remove a container. The only thing I see in the event viewer
|
In my case, freezes occur mainly when I am navigating the web with Google Chrome. But it happens in other situations either. But it never happened to crash when restarting/stopping containers. |
experiencing this as well -- I did a fresh windows 10 reformat and as soon as I installed docker, I get the random freezes usually I get BSOD with the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error |
Same issue here. I also get the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error. It always seem to happen when I am using my app on Google chrome. |
Did you manage to solve it? |
ended up creating a ubuntu vm in virtualbox and installing docker inside of it instead .. |
same problem on a day with 2 to 3 times freeze after updated to 2.1.0.1( 37199) seem more severe, need help. when i restart it show me port binding problems just only can restart pc. |
Same problem here, win 10, after restarting docker, port problem occure. |
Same problem here Windows 10 Pro 1903, engine version 19.03.1 |
Same here... |
SOLVED! For me at least this is on and old MSI 990FXA-GD65 with a phenom II X6 1090t. AMD. With SVM enabled and MMIO enabled and Radeon RX 580
Anyways works like a charm finally |
This occurs to me as well. Up to 10 times per day. Now with Docker disabled (but still HyperV enabled) I am back to normal operation. I'm using an XPS 15 9570. I am not even using Docker and I get freezes. I only occasionally need to debug some image, but most often the freeze occurs when not using Docker at all - only running in the background. EDIT: Hold on, perhaps this is unrelated to Docker. Disabling didn't actually help, even Hyper-V. |
Same issue here, but i get BSOD, with error: Machine: Disabling Docker for Windows restabilizes my PC I'm going to try switching to Windows Insider Preview - Fast Ring for build >=18917 Update Went through these guides: and it works way better. It's clean and far more efficient, and doesn't freeze/bsod (so far) - MUCH faster I/O performance, which I actually think contributed to my freezes. |
Same issue, machine: |
Same issue here. I have disabled the docker from autostart for several days and the problem has stopped appearing. Machine: |
Same here. Tested on two different computer. As soon as I install Docker Desktop for Windows, after a while without even touching the computer I get a BSOD with SYNTHETIC WATCHDOG TIMEOUT |
Same happened to me, any news? |
The short answer is docker for windows is terrible for Linux containers so don't use it. Switch to Linux OS if you want Linux docker. |
I added more memory resources to docker service (in settings -> advanced) and it solved my problem. |
I get DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION too, I have this error for almost a year now and it's really frustrating. |
For those experiencing watchdog violations in 1903+, there are a few issues opened on Windows Feedback Hub: https://aka.ms/AA6xnfe (Non-Widows Insider) I myself have been tracking this since installing 1903 and noticing the host would crash pretty much every night while left unattended. Reverting back to 1809 has been the only remedy. Although someone on this thread has said they have had limited luck putting the machine's power plan on High Performance, the author has not yet checked in with results past a week as of yet. I myself have had my machine run for an entire week on 1909 without a BSOD, thinking it was fixed until the 7th morning when I was met with a reset machine and lost state on all of my guest instances. Alas, currently back on 1809. 😞 We also have a Twitter thread running here (it's how I found out about this issue 😁): Any additional noise you can generate on any of these resources would be greatly appreciated. 👍 |
@DefiCzech Is the problem still solved? What did you set the memory resource to? What was it set to before? What containers do you have running? |
Same here. As soon as Docker is started I get random freezes. No issues with Docker for Windows shut down. |
@mac-dev try to upgrade your windows |
Constantly freezes, everything is stuck, docker-compose cant stop containers, docker stats shows no sign of activity, has to restart or now even has to QUIT the app an re launch it for it to work again... |
@bcastagna this is not what this ticket about. |
@mikicho EDIT : Oh sorry you right. That's another kind of freeze... I apologize, there are so many freezes and issues that I can't get the right one ahah. |
This fixed it for me Docker run always Frozen or WSL Ubuntu distro stopped while waiting for Lifecycle server.
As @noonii said I experienced the same. |
I am getting the same problem with Docker Desktop on my Windows 10 Home. I was unable to install the Stable version of Docker Desktop, and had to install the Edge. I noticed that, save for one occasion, all of my random freezes occur while I am typing (be it Word, a messenger, Notepad, e-mail, etc.), even if Docker isn't running in the background. Is anyone else noticing a similar pattern in their freezes? For reference, I have Windows version 1909, build 18363.1082. |
I did a fresh Windows 10 reformat and installed Docker. I'm getting random freezes with a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error. I'm using Hyper-V because WSL 2 was VERY slow for shared files (it would literally take a minute every time). |
You should install an ubuntu VM and use Docker from there.... DockerForWin is a massive loss of time. |
I managed to solve the freezing issues with enabling the 'Containers' feature from Control Panel. As addition, decided to disable the auto-start option inside the docker app itself and made a Task Scheduler task for starting docker 2 minutes after computer power up. Since all that haven't had any issues with docker for Windows. |
Where is this? I can't seem to find it. |
Late to the party but experienced similar issues. Originally reported here but was suggested to find other issues where people might benefit... so... ORIGINAL POST 2020.11.24: Continuing forward the machine would freeze at least once every other day. A few days ago I realized I didn't need Docker to start with the OS so I turned off the option. Guess what? The freezing stopped. Further cementing my theory (which corroborates what all of you are reporting), I launched Docker Desktop on this morning (2020.11.24) to take a quick look at an image and within 3 minutes the machine froze. I guess I've found the culprit. Based on @youngaj 's post I checked my BIOS and saw that the Hyper Threading was set to Auto instead of Enabled. I'm thinking that maybe it has something to do with my mobo/CPU not "spinning back up" properly when the demand hits. I'm going to try this for a few days to see what happens. Hopefully it's just a funky driver implementation that was intended to save power (or something like that). UPDATE 2020.12.01:

Seriously , being an undergrad student , it's very difficult to use Docker Desktop on Windows , with that whenever I have installed it , it simply says install some WSL, Linux Kernel etc . |
Same issue. Getting DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION after enabling "Security Virtual Machine Mode" in BIOS. Without that Docker won't work. |
Same issue, DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. I tried disabling the windows container service as well as uninstalling docker for windows but the problem still persists. Only reinstalling a fresh copy of windows makes it stop, obviously very painful. |

more than 2 years have passed, why is this problem still not solved?! |
Maybe the solution the community is trying to deliver is out of understanding for ones who have raised the issue |
I came across this issue and resolved it by enabling containers. I too thought my PC was overheating based upon how it would just lockup. The one thing I realized it was docker-desktop specific. In the evenings when I was playing computer games, my PC would not have any issues, but during the day during development it would lock up randomly. The difference was docker-desktop was not running in the evenings. After enabling the container setting, no crashes so far... |

So uploaded Docker in my Asus x555q windows 11 and I get the "BSD" or to be specific the "Grey screen of death " I decided to system to full system reset. Uploaded all my necessary apps until I got to Docker. This app is required to be uploaded for my coding class, and unfortunately crashes my OS again. Can someone help me troubleshoot this issue? Thanks. |
I am experiencing this exact issue on Windows 10, 21H@, OS Build 19044.1466. I have been receiving Blue Screen of Death crashes with the stop code DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION for the last two weeks since installing Docker. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated |

After installing Docker on my Windows 10 machine, I experience these random freezes. The frequency is 1-3 times per day at any given hour. My desktop will just freeze and require forced shutdown from the power button.
Information
Steps to reproduce the behavior
When I've uninstalled Docker and disabled hyper-v this problem disappeared. So I know it's to do with docker/hyper-v.
