Kitematic Refuse to start after update docker in Windows 10

[sumpokemonster]

Expected behavior

Kitematic should start properly

Actual behavior

Kitematic setup always stopps at ~10% and generates error messages below:

Information about the Issue

Docker has been reminding me to update to the latest version since this July (or even earlier) but I refused to. And Docker and Kitematic could run perfectly. But this changed completely after I accidentally clicked 'install' buton today. I looked for possible reasons and solutions online and tried to disable Hyper-V while reinstalling Docker and then either enable or disable Hyper-V while starting Docker. But Kitematic still refuse to properly start...

Did any one experience the same issue after updating Docker?

I faced the same issue and I disabled the Hyper-V hypervisor and rebooted.

Now docker wont start because docker needs it.

So, what I understand is, Hyper-V is essential for Docker on windows, either the message coming from Kitematic should be updated to not suggest disabling Hyper-V Hypervisor or include help on how to use Hyper-V as a driver ?

Could you try the solution written in this post ?

You only need to delete Kitematic folder in %APPDATA% (C:\Users{User}\AppData\Roaming) and run Kitematic again.

Hey Thomas, that worked like a charm! Thank you. I had the exact issue as the author of this post and this solved my problem.
