Title: Mac M1 Docker Desktop no longer launches
UserDisplayName: Manachi
ThreadText: # Mac M1 Docker Desktop no longer launches
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2022-03-14)
  
  I’ve been using Docker Desktop on my Mac M1 for over a year without trouble and just today it seems to have stopped working. It may have coincided with an update.
  
  When trying to open Docker Desktop by double clicking the Docker App icon, it just doesn’t open (and no error message is displayed - it seems to fail silently). When I try to start it up via docker-compose on the cli, the below exceptions are thrown. Could anyone please advise next course of action?
  
  Many thanks.

  It turns out after restarting my computer again, there was a prompt requesting escalated admin privileges and then agreeing to new license terms. I didn't seem to see this the last 2 reboots. After both those steps, it's now working again as expected.

  If you are on mac, you probably need to check the `Allow the default Docker socket to be used` checkbox.
