title: Docker Desktop 3.2.2 on Window 10 Home crashes with error "error during connect: This error may indicate that the docker daemon is not running"
body: <p>The docker containers that I am running seem to run fine on my macbook, but when running on my Windows 10 Home PC the Docker Engine will break.</p>
  <p>When I try to use the Docker CLI it will fail to connect and claim that docker isn't running, even if docker is running.</p>
  <p>I will run something like <code>docker ps</code> and I will recieve back the following error message:</p>
  <pre><code>error during connect: This error may indicate that the docker daemon is not running.: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.24/containers/ib/json: open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified.
  </code></pre>
  <p><a href="https://imgur.com/9saYEeu" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Here</a> is a screenshot saying that docker is running but the daemon is down.</p>
  <p>Edit:</p>
  <p>Here is the docker daemon log <code>C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Docker\log.txt</code></p>
