Docker desktop (Windows 10 Pro) — Why is there no Advanced tab in Settings->Resources?

Are you running with WSL 2 integration? It would appear the bulk of the settings don't apply in that scenario, and the 'Advanced' tab is removed. (See https://admcpr.com/running-docker-desktop-with-the-new-wsl-2-backend/ ).

If you run docker desktop with the new WSL 2 backend and enable Use the WSL 2 based engine in Settings/General :show settings/general

when you want to modify config settings for WSL 2 to explicitly limit the available resources you can do that by creating a .wslconfig file inside your user profile directory

Open Windows Terminal/CMD/PowerShell and run the commands below:

# turn off all wsl instances such as docker-desktopwsl -- shutdownnotepad "$env:USERPROFILE/.wslconfig"

then add this items in .wslconfig file :

[wsl2]kernel=<path>              # An absolute Windows path to a custom Linux kernel.memory=<size>              # How much memory to assign to the WSL2 VM.processors=<number>        # How many processors to assign to the WSL2 VM.swap=<size>                # How much swap space to add to the WSL2 VM. 0 for no swap file.swapFile=<path>            # An absolute Windows path to the swap vhd.localhostForwarding=<bool> # Boolean specifying if ports bound to wildcard or localhost in the WSL2 VM should be connectable from the host via localhost:port (default true).# <path> entries must be absolute Windows paths with escaped backslashes, for example C:\\Users\\adamc\\kernel# <size> entries must be size followed by unit, for example 8GB or 512MB

For Example :

[wsl2]memory=2GB            processors=4 

Then Save the file and restart the docker-desktop service.

You can add or modify image information in Docker Engine
