    Unable to add my user account to docker-users group


    I have been trying to install docker-desktop. I followed the official documentationMy installation failed with this error : Component Docker.Installer.AddToGroupAction failed: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocationKeep in mind that I have Windows 11 Home Edition, which means I don't have access to Local Users and Groups in Computer ManagementAfter a bit of research, I concluded that the error is arising from Windows and not Docker.I tried "net localgroup" command into administrator command prompt and I noticed that the docker-users group was created. When i use "net localgr

  2. Adding Authenticated Users to Another Group

    Hi,

    Need help in adding "Authenticated Users" group to group(Docker-Users) created by Application "Docker for Windows" through Powershell.

    Platform: Windows 10

    Machine is in Domain. While trying to add, we needed to change Scope to Local Machine for Authenticated Users to appear, then we were able to add.

    Now we need to implement the same thing through Powershell.

    Application requires Authenticated Users group to be in Docker-users group.

    Kindly provide a way if possible through Powershell to achieve the above scenario.

    Show Local users and Groups


    Hello Frank, and welcome to Ten Forums. Unable to add my user account to docker-users group :)

    If you have the Windows 10 Home edition, then it will not have Local Users and Groups (lusrmgr.msc) included in it. It's only available in the Pro and Enterprise editions instead.

    If you like, you could use step 3 in OPTION THREE of the tutorial below list users in a group.

    Unable To Create User Accounts - Windows 10


    I don’t know if this addition to my original thread will push it to the top of the queue. I have tried again by pasting netplwiz into the Run box as suggested by marshian. Yesterday I managed to create another User Account which although described as an Administrator Account indicates ‘This app can’t open’ for every single item. Can anybody please suggest how I can change this situation? Today I did the same thing again but find that I CAN open the various programs on that Account – although the Account is listed under a Users Group not Administrators Users.
    There is also a Guest Account listed but as yet I haven’t been able to get into that since it does not appear for the next Log On when I click my Log Off or Switch Users shortcuts.
    I will be grateful for any advice, Thanks ........
