Exactly the same here.

Yep, this results in VM not booting - eventually it will get to windows startup repair and only way to fix it (that i have found) is combination of: and which effectively just undoes the change (as far as I can determine).

This was described here: And unfortunately, as mentioned, it resulted in same error: Failed to start the virtual machine 'DockerDesktopVM' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running. (conf attached). ptvm_2.xml

Unraid 6.8.3 TLDR: How to get docker desktop running inside W10 VM (if it is even possible)? (and yes, there is specific reason why I would like to run docker inside the VM and not just connect to unraid's daemon) As far as i can determine, it should be working, but it simply isnt. I have enabled nested-vm in unraid: systool -m kvm_intel -v | grep nested nested = "Y" I could enable hyper-v features in W10 VM and as far as I can determine they should be working: Docker Desktop installs fine, but it won't actually start: Docker.Core.DockerException: Docker.Core.Backend.BackendException: Unable to start Hyper-V VM: 'DockerDesktopVM' failed to start. Failed to start the virtual machine 'DockerDesktopVM' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running. ... I am assuming it is because one of the hyper-v services is not running and won't start (in a physical machine with docker working, it is running) : I also assumed the service issue was caused by this driver problem: I have retried disabling-enabling features and reinstalling docker desktop with same end result. I have also tried: <kvm> <hidden state='on'/> </kvm> Which didn't seem to do anything. Then I tried (separately): <feature policy='disable' name='hypervisor'/> Which resulted in W10 not being aware that it is a VM: "Virtualization: Enabled" seemed lika good thing and it also seemingly fixed the driver issue: But the HV Host Service behaves still in the exact same manner (so maybe this driver thingy is not relevant at all?) And when I try to run Docker Desktop, it fails with a new message: Hardware assisted virtualization and data execution protection must be enabled in the BIOS. See https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/troubleshoot/#virtualization-must-be-enabled I also tried: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/70040-guide-vms-in-vm-intel-nested-virtualization/ but it didn't seem to change behaviour. https://youtu.be/2-saWn6ZbHc?t=663 describes same behaviour 3 years ago and attributes it to a bug that I assume should be fixed by now? At this point I'm out of ideas and my google-fu has let me down. Any help would be appreciated.
