After installing Docker for Windows I was unable to run it, following error appeared.

Unable to create: The running command stopped because the preference variable "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop: The specified module 'Hyper-V' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.

I checked that Hyper-V was installed but it seems that Docker also needs to have the Powershell tools installed. So activate the feature and Docker will run fine 🙂
