What is your windows edition? You need to have Professional or Enterprise since just these versions support hyper-v – Ken Bekov Jan 17 '20 at 05:12

It can depend on your Windows version (type winver in a CMD)
With 1903, there are reports of freeze or BSOD, with docker/for-win/issue 3815.
The main issue regarding the installation is docker/for-win/issue 1172,
This assumes that you have Windows Pro at least, with Hyper-V activated (and possibly the antivirus off during installation).
This thread includes:
Adding the downloaded installer
.exefile to the Controlled Folder Access allowed apps list fixed the problem for me.
Start | Settings |and click onControlled Folder AccessT hen click on “
Allow an app through Controlled folder access”
Click on the big+beside “Add an allowed app” and chooseRecently Blocked Apps.
Then you can choose the "Docker for Windows Installer.exe".
Re-run the installer as admin and it works.
