Docker Error on Startup

Are you facing this issue on the startup of Docker Desktop? Let’s discuss how to resolve this error, “Docker Desktop is unable to detect Hypervisor” on installing the Docker desktop on Windows 11.

The issue behind this error is Virtualization or Secure Virtual Machine(SVM) is disabled in the firmware.

Check if Virtualization is disabled on your PC

In the Windows search bar type ‘Task Manager’ and open it. Go to the performance tab in the navigation tab and check if virtualization is enabled or not.

Virtualization Disabled

Let’s discuss how easily we quickly change this in the firmware

Step 1) Go to “Setting>Recovery>Advance Startup” and click on Restart Now.

Step 1

Step 2) A new tab will appear, Choose Troubleshoot and then select Advanced options

Choose Troubleshoot
Click on Advanced Options

Step 3) Select UEFI Firmware Settings. If you don’t see this icon, then press Startup Repair, instead. When your PC is restarting, tap F1 (or F2) to access the BIOS.

Select UEFI Firmware Settings

Step 4) Now, you will land on this page, Select Advanced Mode on the bottom left or Press F7.

Step 4) Choose the Advanced option in the navigation menu and Enable the SVM Mode. Also, if you are using an ASUS device change the UMA Frame Buffer Size to Auto instead of 512M.

Step 5) Press F10 to Save and Exit. Your system will reboot with the updated features

Check Again the Virtualization in the Task Manager. Voilà !!!Now you should be able to install Docker and run any Docker image in your Windows system.

Virtualization Enabled
