Docker on Windows 10 "driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint"

I got the same error message on my Windows 10 Pro / Docker v17.06.1-ce-win24 / Docker-Compose v1.14.0 using Windows Powershell x86 in admin mode.

The solution was to simply restart Docker.


If happens once, restarting Docker will do the work. In my case, it was happening every time that I restarted my computer.

In this case, disable Fast Startup, or you probably will restart Docker every time that your computer starts. This solution was obtained from here


Simply restaring Docker didn't fix the problem for me on Windows 10.

In my case, I resolved the problem with the exact steps below:

1) Close "Docker Desktop"

2) Run the commands below:

net stop com.docker.service
net start com.docker.service

3) Launch "Docker Desktop" again

Hope this will help someone else.
