ERROR: failed to register layer rename Access is denied

During execution of docker-compose, there are chances to get below issue as

C:\ProgramData\Docker\image\windowsfilter\layerdb\tmp\write-set-547194937 

C:\ProgramData\Docker\image\windowsfilter\layerdb\sha256\315e8c08db9b1b7e769ea42ea3ac985e1f8613472735b9a706145d53348f8d26: 

Access is denied


To resolve this issue, we have to make sure all mentioned ports are unique in docker-compose.yml by running below command.


If there is no output entries came for specific port - then we are good, else will have to change port number.

Please run below command in PowerShell as admin

netstat -aon | findstr 8090


Hope this help.
