TL;DR: I was trying yo open Docker on a guest account, but only the Admin account had been granted permission by default:
Full explanation
Yes, I had started to write about that whole thing, but then thought it would be too much whining for one post 
After installing Docker, it wasn’t opening at all. It showed no signs of working. I eventually ended up on a reddit thread and thankfully read the single comment that explained the issue: it wasn’t opening because I was using a guest account on this pc. Switched over to an admin account and it ran just fine. Still, I needed it to work on the guest account, which is the one I always use, so I had to research how to do that.
I had to go somewhere like Computer management > Local groups and users or something like that, select the guest account and add the “docker-users” permission or whatever to it. However, when I headed to “Computer Management”, the “local groups and users” wasn’t there (“not supported by this version of Windows 10”), so here I was in one of those cases in which the solution doesn’t work, and now you have to find a solution for the solution. I don’t quite remember how I solved that one; found another website that said to type something on the Run command line, which took me to the “local groups and users” window, where managed to add “docker-users” or whatever to the Guest account. Still, I had to reboot the pc to get it to work.
Now I’m about to toss my PC out the window again, because I’m on step 4:
1. A new VS Code window will open and begin building the Docker image. It will take several minutes to build the first time
Since it’s supposed to take several minutes, I went to make dinner in the meantime. It’s been over 40 minutes and it’s still going (allegedly)
