Unable to start docker on windows 10

Question

Facing issue after installing Docker on windows 10 Enterprise by following official site https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/

Run Docker: C:\\WINDOWS\\system32>docker run -d -p 80:80 docker/getting-started

ERROR:
docker: error during connect: Post http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.40/containers/create: open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified.

In the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run elevated to connect. This error may also indicate that the docker daemon is not running. See docker run --help
