Updates
Docker Compose v5.5.0
NVIDIA Container Toolkit v1.20.0
Docker Agent v1.127.0
Bug fixes and enhancements
For all platforms
Fixed an issue where background container and image polling was waking the Docker engine unnecessarily when Resource Saver mode was active.
Fixed slow Zsh startup caused by duplicated Docker CLI completion setup in .zshrc. Docker Desktop now keeps a single completion block and removes existing duplicates. Fixes docker/desktop-feedback#561.
Sidebar customization permanently is now available to all users. Right-click the left-hand navigation, select Customize, and then select, deselect, or re-order the tabs.
Fixed the Disk usage slider in Settings to no longer show duplicate tick marks at small ranges, now displaying values in GiB with one decimal place for ranges up to 8 TiB.
Fixed excessive update notifications in the notification center so that pop-ups only appear for failures or when user action is required, not during in-progress update steps.
Fixed a dashboard crash issue. Fixes docker/desktop-feedback#611
For Windows
When CONTAINERD_BUILDX_FOR_WINDOWS is enabled, Windows Containers now uses dockerd's embedded containerd and in-process BuildKit, replacing the standalone containerd and buildkitd services.
Fixed a bug where Docker Desktop could fail to start after an ungraceful shutdown left behind a stuck socket file.
Fixed a bug where Docker VMM did not explain how to fix an unavailable Windows Hypervisor platform.
