How to fix docker daemon that will not restart due to hns error

• Docker for Windows Server
• Windows Server version 1709, with containers
• Docker version 17.06.2-ee-6, build e75fdb8
• Swarm mode (worker node, part of swarm with ubuntu masters)

After containers connected to an overlay network started intermittently losing their network adapters, I restarted the machine. Now daemon will not start. Below is the last lines of output from running docker -D.

Please let me know how to fix this.

Here is complete set of steps to completely rebuild all docker issues withing swarm host. Sometimes only some steps are sufficient (specifically hns part), so you can try those first.

Remove all docker services and user-defined networks (so all docker networks except `nat` and `none`
Leave the swarm cluster (docker swarm leave --force)
Stop the docker service (PS C:\> stop-service docker)
Stop the HNS service (PS C:\> stop-service hns)
In regedit, delete all of the registry keys under these paths:
HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vmsmp\parameters\SwitchList
HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vmsmp\parameters\NicList
Now go to Device Manager, and disable then remove all network adapters that are “Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet…” adapters
Now rename your HNS.data file (the goal is to effectively “delete” it by renaming it):
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\HNS\HNS.data
Also rename C:\ProgramData\docker folder (the goal is to effectively “delete” it by renaming it)
C:\ProgramData\docker

Now reboot your machine
