Windows 10 - Web1 issue restarting program. Need to reset Docker shared drives

[Aaron3c]

restarting program after termination was faulty on windows 10 too. Web1 failed to compose.

Terminal messages:

---

running Git config command didn't help either:

managed to resolve issue by opening docker settings window:

shared drives> unchecked box for C > apply
shared drives> rechecked box for C > apply

re-run docker-compose up in terminal.

Issue appears to be Windows-centric and @Aaron3c has clearly detailed the steps to take. Needs a pull request to update the README for people who discover this issue as well.
