I’m encountering difficulties modifying the attributes of the Docker installation directory on Windows due to a ‘Read-Only File System’ error. Despite attempting various methods, including running PowerShell commands and manually adjusting permissions via File Explorer, the read-only attribute persists, preventing me from making necessary changes. As a result, I’m unable to proceed with Docker-related operations on my system. Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated
I’ve attempted several methods to remove the read-only attribute from the Docker installation directory on my Windows system. Initially, I tried using PowerShell commands such as icacls and attrib to modify the directory’s permissions and attributes. While these commands executed without errors, the read-only attribute persisted after execution. Additionally, I manually unchecked the read-only attribute via File Explorer’s properties dialog, but the changes did not take effect. Despite these efforts, I’m still encountering the ‘Read-Only File System’ error when attempting to modify the Docker directory attributes. I expected the read-only attribute to be successfully removed, allowing me to proceed with Docker operations, but unfortunately, the issue persists.”
