Docker for windows error while exposing Ports

Question

I run docker run -d -p 80:80 --name webserver nginx and get the following error:

C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\bin\docker.exe: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint webserver (f9946544e4c6ad2dd9cb8cbccd251e4d48254e86562bd8e6da75c3bd42c7e45a): Error starting userland proxy: mkdir /port/tcp:0.0.0.0:80:tcp:172.17.0.2:80: input/output error.

If I don't try to assign a port the container will run, but then I don't know how to access it.

Can anyone help me out with this error?

I faced a similar issue, just follow the below steps:

1) Stop all the running containers docker stop

2) Stop the Docker on your machine & restart it.

Then run the required command. This will solve the issue
