Docker for Desktop starting issue

error during connect: Get https://192.168.99.100:2376/v1.38/containers/json: dial tcp 192.168.99.100:2376: connectex: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

If you know this error and use the Docker for Desktop you may have previously used Docker Toolbox. I created this Gist in case I run into this issue again at some point so I don't have to look for the solution all over again.

Basically just clear the environment variables in Windows set by the previous Docker Toolbox installation, restart the termain and it should work.

Found the solution here.
