Docker pull fails on Windows 10 in Windows Container mode

I am trying to run docker natively on Windows 10 : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick-start/set-up-environment?tabs=Windows-10-Client

My Windows version is :

OS Name:                   Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
OS Version:                10.0.18362 N/A Build 18362.720

Docker version is :

Docker version 19.03.8, build afacb8b

{
  "registry-mirrors": [],
  "insecure-registries": [],
  "debug": true,
  "experimental": true
}

Docker Desktop Community : 2.2.0.5 (43884)

This is how the menu looks after installing : i.e. I am in "Windows Container mode"

NB : Before installing docker, I made sure "Containers" and "Hyper V" are enabled in Windows Features options.

After installing Docker, I ran this command :

docker pull ubuntu

I got this output with an error

C:\Users\angshuman>docker run ubuntu
Unable to find image 'ubuntu:latest' locally

Any idea how to resolve the issue please ?

Edit: After suggestion in the answer below

I downgraded to 2.2.0.3 with experimental : true and Windows Container enabled:

It downloads the image this time, but still does not run. Issue persists with a different error now.

Error:

This seems to be followed by microsoft/hcsshim issue 624

Windows just did an update and laid down a new copy of this driver.

• Rename the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\cbfs6.sys as something else (or delete it).
• Remove the container.
• Reboot.

That in turn refers to docker/for-win/issue 3884

Awesome guys at nsoftware.com just fixed the issue with their SFTP Drive v2.
Indeed the problem was in cbfs driver. New version is working as expected and doesn't collide with Docker.

But microsoft/hcsshim issue 790 also mentions the same error:

The issue is present in Docker Desktop CE for windows 2.2.0.4 & 2.2.0.5

A downgrade to 2.2.0.3 resolved the issue.

If you want to "run containers natively on Windows", the next page mentions images like mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:1903

An Ubuntu image would not work in this mode, only in the Linux Container mode.

To summarize:

1. Downgrade Docker Desktop to 2.2.0.3
2. Reboot machine (don't forget)
3. Delete all previously created containers / images (if any)
4. docker run -it ubuntu - (for some reason , shows the bash shell & then, goes out of interactive mode)
5. Run docker run -it ubuntu again - now, goes into interactive mode now (2nd time) and stays

This works !
