I have also encountered the same problem. Tried everything from giving dynamic memory to enabling and disabling Hyper V and many more. But with all that, I got no success.
Then I tried these steps for
Docker won’t start on Windows: Not Enough memory to start docker:
-
From System Tray menu, right click on Docker icon
-
Select Switch to Windows containers…
-
Restart the system.
There you go after restarting your docker status should be showing as: Docker is running
PS: Switching back to Linux container should work now after switching to Windows Containers for most of the users as said by rfay.

Despite of the above methods if you’re still unable to start docker on your Windows Machine, try with the following things:
- Download RAMMap from Microsoft’s Official website
- Open the application and select Empty menu
- From the sub-menu list select the first option Empty Working Sets
- Now refresh it by pressing
F5
Now try running docker and I believe this should work.
