Addon dev - "Timeout while waiting for docker to come up"?

Development
1

I have an addon I want to debug and I’m following the instructions here: Local add-on testing | Home Assistant Developer Docs. I’m running Windows 10.

Everything is fine until I get to ‘Start Home Assistant’ in VSCode, where I get the following error:

 *  Executing task: supervisor_run 

Run Supervisor
Starting docker.
Waiting for docker to initialize...
Timeout while waiting for docker to come up

 *  The terminal process "/usr/bin/zsh '-c', 'supervisor_run'" terminated with exit code: 1. 
 *  Press any key to close the terminal.

Docker Desktop shows container strange_jang running ghcr.io/home-assistant/devcontainer:addons.
I’m new to Docker and I don’t know where to go from here.

In addition to the steps given on the above webpage I had to do ‘chmod +x /usr/bin/supervisor_run’ in order to get supervisor_run to run (permission denied before that).

Please can someone help?

I think I’ve found the answer, helped by this post: Problems setting up addons devcontainer - #10 by afiwube

I edited tasks.json;
"command": "supervisor_run",
replaced by
`“command”: “sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/supervisor* && sudo -E supervisor_run”
and now it runs and I get the HA instance.
