I'm trying to docker pull postgres but get this error message instead no matching manifest for windows/amd64 in the manifest list entries

Which lead me to this solution How can I run Docker in a AWS Windows Server environment?

The solution is to enable Experimental mode

But there is no docker icon on my environment. So I tried to use this command
dockerd --experimental

But got this error
PS C:\Users\Administrator> dockerd --experimental time="2019-01-21T08:45:51Z" level=warning msg="Running experimental build" open //./pipe/docker_engine: Access is denied.

So how can I enable the experimental mode?
or are there other solution to avoid the no matching manifest for windows/amd64 in the manifest list entries problem?

    Indeed, i even went as far as installing Docker Desktop just so that I could find the "experimental" checkbox that everyone was talking about but after checking the checkbox, it's still reporting `Experimental: False` when typing `docker version` on the command line. – uglycoyote Mar 11 '19 at 04:27

I fixed this problem by using i3.metal (bare metal) instance instead. This instance quite costly so I would love to hear other solution too.

Docker and dockerd are related. You have to stop Docker before starting dockerd again.

stop-service *docker*

Then you can launch your command again

dockerd --experimental

Notice that this will block the shell because the deamon run where you launch it
