I'm getting this error during install - the previous install hung and then onwards it does not complete successfully. Any idea how to repair this or cleanup and restart?

Disabling the power service worked for me too.

1. Open msconfig.exe in the windows menu bar
2. Go to the "services" tab
3. Start typing "power" and it will auto find the correct service.
4. Untick the checkbox
5. Restart your PC
6. Make sure you do not have any Docker installation files in your drive
7. Start the installation process again and hopefully that'll work for you

I had the same issue and seemed to start happening after the lasted window update.

I manage to solve the issue by stopping and disabling the "power" (Power management) window service. I did repeat the process two times and seemed to be a consistent issue, at least in my case. Be sure this service is not running, at least in my case it worked, hope this helps.

I tried everything (reboot, different versions 2.5, 3.0, 3.3, power, disabling real-time protection). Only increasing timeout helped me:

1. Click Start, click Run, type Regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
4. In the right pane, locate the ServicesPipeTimeout entry. Note If the ServicesPipeTimeout entry does not exist, you must create it. To do this, follow these steps:

• On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
• Type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press ENTER.

5. Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.
6. Click decimal, type 60000, and then click OK.
