This might be relevant: the Retry Setup and Reset buttons don't seem to solve the error

@brah I fixed it doing the following:

1. Open Kitematic and go to View -> Toggle Chromium Developer Tools
2. Open the console tab (click the >> button in the top section)
3. Run localStorage.setItem('settings.useVM', 'false')
4. Restart Kitematic

I don't know how that setting got set to true 😂 All I remember is that I upgraded Docker.

Note: If I check the Use VirtualBox on next start option I can reproduce the problem. Then the Reset and Retry Setup buttons don't fix the issue, only the steps mentioned above

I had the sample problem: The Retry Setup and Reset buttons don't seem to solve the error.

Going into the web console and running the localStorage.setItem('settings.useVM', 'false') worked!

Thank you for posting the fix.
