Docker Windows version compatibility issues¶

Docker Desktop for Windows relies on Hyper-V, a native virtualization technology in Windows, which creates specific compatibility constraints with other software and system configurations.^[600-developer__docker__docker-windows.md]

Software Conflicts¶

Docker Desktop cannot run concurrently with VMware because both applications require exclusive access to the underlying virtualization capabilities provided by Hyper-V.^[600-developer__docker__docker-windows.md]

Version Instability¶

Certain versions of Docker Desktop for Windows may contain unresolved bugs that prevent them from functioning correctly, requiring users to troubleshoot or downgrade to a stable release.^[600-developer__docker__docker-windows.md]
