can you run the same command using docker pull ... this will isolate the issue to kitematic or your Docker setup.

I am having the same problem:

"failed to register layer: re-exec error: exit status 1: output: ProcessBaseLayer C:\ProgramData\Docker\windowsfilter\a0fb1b614dcee6a8c7a532ca62b8b081e911127854d25eedbe9ce99b540c0b39: The parameter is incorrect."

The same happens when using docker pull, I was trying to pull microsoft/nanoserver:latest.

This is a Windows Container image only - Please see the documentation for this image and the requirements.
To learn more about Windows Containers, please see this post:
https://blog.docker.com/2016/09/build-your-first-docker-windows-server-container/

Additionally, if you're running Docker for Windows, you can switch to using linux/windows containers:
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/#switch-between-windows-and-linux-containers

You have selected Windows Containers at the time of setup rather than Linux Containers so only Windows-based images will run. To resolve this, right-click the tray icon and select 'Switch to Linux Containers' and it will start working.

I Switch to docker for Linux containers and worked

propably you overwrite your hyper-v like me.
for windows container in windows this solved my issue:

1. go to "Turn Windows features on or off"
2. turn of your Hyper-v
3. restart computer
4. go back to "Turn Windows features on or off"
5. turn on Hyper-v
6. restart computer
7. start docker (in this case docker for windows)
8. try to pull "docker pull hello-world"
9. than try to start it "docker start hello-world"
10. if all goes well you see possitive msg from docker

This solve it for me. Happy coding

I installed docker with windows containsers. For me switching to Linux Containers and switching back to windows containers solved issue.
