Answers for "docker: error during connect: In the default daemon configuration on Windows"

macbook Couldn't connect to Docker daemon - you might need to run `docker-machine start default`

$ docker-machine restart default
$ eval $(docker-machine env default)
// Apparently you need to run the eval $(docker-machine env default) every time you run the quick start terminal.

In the default daemon configuration on Windows , the docker client must be run elevated to connect.

docker-machine env --shell cmd default

error during connect: In the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run with elevated privileges to connect.:

cd "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker" ; ./DockerCli.exe -SwitchDaemon

The error is related to that part:

In the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run elevated to connect

You can do this in order to switch Docker daemon, as elevated user:

With Powershell:

Open Powershell as administrator
Launch command: & 'C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe' -SwitchDaemon
OR, with cmd:

Open cmd as administrator
Launch command: "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe" -SwitchDaemon
