If you trying to open the Docker Desktop App on the Mac and you see it not loading/booting up, you may have to kill its process running in the background that may be having issues.
Fix Setps:First try to Force Quit Docker by going under macOS Menu: Apple Logo -> Force Quit...
- Open Activity Monitor using Spotlight Search,
- Now under CPU see if you can see Docker,
- Now Select Docker on the list and click on the X button as highlighted in the image,
- You will get a prompt, Select Quit or Force Quit,
Are you sure you want to quit this process? Do you really want to quit "Docker"? Quit Force Quit Cancel
- Now when you try to Open Docker Desktop again it should open like a charm!
