Enabling Windows Containers feature is failing when Hyper-V is not installed. In theory this feature should not be required for running Windows Containers with process level isolation only.

Expected behavior

Docker Desktop should switch to a context which would allow running windows containers with process level isolation only.

Actual behavior

An Error occurred:

Required Windows feature(s) not enabled: Hyper-V.
Docker Desktop will exit.

Nice to have

I'm not an expert, but in theory Virtual Machine Platform feature is also running a Hyper-V what in theory together with Windows Hypervisor Platform should allow running containers with hyperv isolation.

Information

• Windows Version: 20H2 Windows 10 Pro
• Docker Desktop Version: `2.5.1.0 (49923)
• Are you running inside a virtualized Windows e.g. on a cloud server or on a mac VM: No
• Installed Windows Features:
  • Hyper-V
  • Containers
  • Virtual Machine Platform
  • Windows Hypervisor Platform
  • Windows Subsystem for Linux
• For Linux containers I'm using WSL2, everything works perfect. I've uninstaller the Hyper-V because virtual network card drivers added not accepted latency to my Windows machine for real time audio processing.
