After a clean install, docker desktop should start, but it's not starting.
Getting the following error message, which is hard to debug.
Timed out waiting for the lifecycle-server to start.
This may be the result of a slow environment or there may be a real problem.
This timeout can be increased by editing settings.json, value 'lifecycleTimeoutSeconds'.

<!-- Please, help us understand the problem. For instance:
Before few weeks, everything was working fine. I think, I tried to update docker or restarted the machine and then it has stopped working.
I have tried with 2.0.0.3 and 2.1.0.1 stable installers but none of those are working and giving same errors. I tried increasing memory, enabling/disabling hyper-v but none of those has helped yet.
<!-- A reproducible case, Dockerfiles with reproduction inside is best. -->
Mac Parallels 13.3.2, Windows 10 pro 1903 virtual machine
- Stable 2.1.0.1 doesn't work
- Stable 2.0.0.3 doesn't work (as suggested here #4393)
Both versions have same issue virtual machine in Hyper-V consumes 50% host CPU and never gets ready to work.
- Changing VM settings in (more memory or more CPU-s ) doesn't have any effect.
- Extending lifecycle timeout up to 600s doesn't have any effect
However latest Edge release: Docker Desktop Community 2.1.1.0 (37260) works, starts within 10s Also I have selected inside Edge version installation to install missing windows components not sure if this made difference or what exactly changes in Win.
I have disabled docker desktop auto start on OS startup, hate having apps running that I don't use so I can't confirm if starts within 10s when OS is starting.
Hope this helps.
@gljubojevic thanks a lot for your reply with instructions. I tried with 2.1.1.0 edge version and checked 'install missing windows components' during the installation. And that did the trick. It worked now. Thanks again.
