• Create a new user (Computer Management → System Tools → Local Users and Groups → Users → Create new user), e.g. “DockerHost”. Give it a password.
• Mark “User cannot change password” & “Password never expires” (in properties of that user).
• Add it to “Administrators” group (also in properties of that user).
• Share the drive where projects reside with the newly created user. i.e. C:/ (Properties of drive → sharing tab → Advanced sharing → Permissions → add the newly created user for docker → give it full access ). Repeat process for specific path to projects folder (for example of another user C:/Users/OtherUser/projects) and make sure it has permissions for full access. Sometimes this is handy for refreshing sharing and make it work.
• Shared Drives in docker settings - Add user credentials to Docker for Windows, using the newly created user with its password.
