Docker Windows Hyper-V conflict¶

The Docker Windows Hyper-V conflict refers to a system-level incompatibility on Windows where specific virtualization software cannot operate simultaneously.^[600-developer__docker__docker-windows.md]

Primary Conflict¶

Docker for Windows requires [[Hyper-V]] to function, which creates a direct conflict with other virtualization applications such as VMware. Consequently, VMware and Docker for Windows cannot coexist on the same machine due to this underlying reliance on Hyper-V.^[600-developer__docker__docker-windows.md]

Known Issues¶

In addition to virtualization conflicts, certain versions of Docker Windows have been reported to contain bugs that render them non-functional.^[600-developer__docker__docker-windows.md]

Default Storage Location¶

By default, Docker images on Windows are stored in the directory C:\ProgramData\DockerDesktop\vm-data.^[600-developer__docker__docker-windows.md]
