Bug report

After update from 4.96.1, as soon as Docker Desktop starts, a Windows kernel crash happens and my system reboots. From analyzing the memory dump, the crash happens in vfsmdf.sys, a kernel-mode file system mini-filter driver belonging to Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) (formerly by Symantec, now owned by Broadcom).

I can't turn it off because it happens on a company-managed laptop.

Platform

Windows

Version information

I can't collect this information. I had to uninstall Docker Desktop to terminate the reboot loop, as Docker Desktop starts on login.

Diagnostics ID

No response
