Does docker pull work for other images? Is the docker deamon running? - Munchkin
@Munchkin - Yes. docker daemon is running and am able to pull other images - user3387482
Resolved: I changed my Docker service from Windows to "Switch to Linux Container" and tried to pull the images and it worked. - user3387482

You have selected Windows Containers at the time of setup rather than Linux Containers so only Windows-based images will run. To resolve this, right-click the tray icon and select 'Switch to Linux Containers' and it will start working.
