Release Date: July 27, 2026

Docker Desktop 4.84.0 has been released — the latest update brings important bug fixes, component upgrades, and platform-specific improvements across Windows and all supported systems.

Overview

Docker Desktop 4.84.0 was released on July 27, 2026. This is a maintenance-focused release that addresses several critical issues, updates bundled components, and removes deprecated features. The release is available for Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), and Linux platforms.

Component Updates

Docker Agent upgraded to v1.111.0
Kubernetes bundled cri-dockerd updated to v0.4.4
Docker Hardened Images CLI (dhictl) updated to v0.0.7
Docker Desktop CLI updated to v0.4.3

Bug Fixes and Enhancements

For All Platforms

Fixed: An invalid ~/.docker/config.json no longer causes Docker Desktop to hang with high CPU and memory usage. Docker Desktop now surfaces a clear error dialog prompting the user to correct the file.
Fixed: A bug that prevented some Docker Hardened Images customizations from being created successfully.
Fixed: Deleting an unrelated credential ID could accidentally erase Docker Hub OAuth tokens, causing unexpected sign-outs. This has been resolved.
Removed: Docker Scout CLI hints that appeared after running docker pull or docker buildx build commands have been removed, streamlining the terminal experience.

For Windows

Fixed: An empty or malformed install-settings.json on Windows no longer causes Docker Desktop to hang with high CPU/memory usage on startup.
Improved: The MSI installer now detects per-user Docker Desktop installations and blocks installation with a clear message naming affected users, preventing conflicts.
Fixed: Uninstalling Docker Desktop on Windows could permanently lock users out of their own application data directories if the deletion failed mid-way. This has been corrected.

How to Upgrade

Docker Desktop 4.84.0 is available through the in-app update mechanism or can be downloaded directly from the Docker Desktop release notes page. Users running older versions are encouraged to upgrade to benefit from the latest fixes and improvements.
