Comments: Try `docker -D info`, by default it is not enabled and the client is the command you just run...

Comments: you are right - as you suggested, I get "true" for the client as well; but where would I see the debug output for docker pull?

Title: How to enable debug mode for Docker client on Windows 10?

ThreadText: # How to enable debug mode for Docker client on Windows 10?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-07-12)
  
  By default, Docker client is not in debug mode. How to enable it?
  
  ```
     > docker info
  
      ..
      Debug Mode (client): false
      Debug Mode (server): true
      ..
  
  ```
  
  If I try following `docker --help`
  
  ```
  docker -D version 
  
  ```
  
  I get indeed
  
  ```
  Debug Mode (client): true
  Debug Mode (server): true
  
  ```
  
  But then, how can I access log messages? The following for example does not seem to bring any debug statements to the console:
  
  ```
  PS U:\> docker -D -l debug pull ubuntu:16.04
  16.04: Pulling from library/ubuntu

  Eventually, using the `docker -D -l debug` setting for the client I have found the log outputs (apparently currently there are no debug level messages implemented [as reported](https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/6927).
