What happened?

As a newcomer,

I installed docker Desktop for Windows.

Following https://testcontainers.com/guides/getting-started-with-testcontainers-for-java/ got error:

Following the on failure link has not helped a lot.

There must be missing some trivial assumption. If I start PowerShell I get:

PS C:\Users\ppku> docker --version
Docker version 24.0.6, build ed223bc

so docker is on path.

Quite not understand why probing failed.
Could you investigate, pls?

Relevant log output

No response

Additional Information

No response

Start with the getting-started-with-testcontainers-for-java guide and the linked on_failure documentation, then reproduce the Windows Docker Desktop setup using the reported logs. Trace why the example cannot find a valid Docker environment; done means the newcomer example runs successfully or the guide clearly documents the missing prerequisite and troubleshooting step.
