This article reeks from self-promotion. Based on my experience of Windows it is much more stable to install Docker standalone as a service w/o the Desktop application. The Docker cli is easy enough to manage containers/volumes etc.

Well, I didn't even know we could do it via CLI on Windows. Thanks!

  Sure, no worries. You can use this (PowerShell) script (on Windows) to install the latest version w/o the Docker Desktop: https://pastebin.com/Gzmstp3V https://pastebin.com/Gzmstp3V

  Modern command line interfaces evolved a lot since they 80ies. As this is about Windows take a look at PowerShell. Automation of command line also is a lot simpler than GUI tools.
