Can't connect to local Windows containers

Question:
When I follow the installation guide for Windows containers, I get the following scenario after I create my user:

Clicking connect shows the following box:

Checking the log in Docker For Windows give me the following output:

I can't get it running on Windows containers, and Linux containers is not an option for me.

Yes, this is a recently known issue. You can temporarily use the portainer image: portainerci/portainer:fix3568-bump-go-winio-lib-windows1809-amd64 Or -windows1803 Or -windows1903 Depending on your os ver. We will release Portainer 1.23.2 asap with a fix for this. N

That is working - thank you!

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9000:9000 --name portainer --restart always -v \\.\pipe\docker_engine:\\.\pipe\docker_engine -v portainer_data:C:\data portainerci/portainer:fix3568-bump-go-winio-lib-windows1903-amd64

Can we assign another ticket to this one, or is it the first open ticket on it?

[ncresswell]

Already a prior open ticket, will get William Conquest to merge them.

I just had this problem on Docker for Windows v19.03.8 on Windows 10 v10.0.18362.657, but this fix image works: portainerci/portainer:fix3568-bump-go-winio-lib-windows1903-amd64, so I'm wondering if this was expected to have been merged into the latest by now?

It will be part of Portainer 1.23.2 release (due Friday). However, please see our latest blog on other Windows Platform issues uncovered during testing: https://www.portainer.io/2020/03/docker-on-windows-platforms-with-portainer-known-issues/
