If you are running docker in Bootcamp on an Intel-based Macbook, what this error is trying to tell you is that Virtualization features are not enabled. To enable Virtualization features inside Windows 10 in Bootcamp:

  1. Boot into Mac OS. Virtualization is automatically enabled if you boot up Mac OS.
  2. From there reboot into Windows without turning the Machine off.

Virtualization features will now also be available in Windows 10 and docker should work again.
