'Docker whale icon is not appearing in system tray
I want to switch my container from Linux to Windows. The documentation says go to docker whale icon in system tray and switch it. But it is not appearing in my system tray and I have my docker running. Is there any alternative way to switch to windows container
My OS - Windows 10 Home Edition

The following finally worked for me:
- Type "Docker" in the Windows search bar
- Right click -> Run as administrator

icon could be hidden by windows in some cases.
windows 10 settings > taskbar > "select which icons appear on the taskbar" > change 'docker desktop' to on.

For me it helped to uninstall and install docker for windows, I had a version 2.1.0.4, November 2019, running it as the admin mentioned here and not positively elsewhere did not help me

I had similar issue after the initial installation of Docker Desktop 4.7.1 running with WSL 2 backend from the start. I fixed it like this.
