moby: Windows container: Cannot start with error "Error response from daemon: container ... encountered an error during CreateContainer: failure in a Windows system call: The system cannot find the path specified. (0x3)"

Description When I trying to start container from any image, i am receiving the error: Error response from daemon: container … encountered an error durin

Error response from daemon: container … encountered an error during CreateContainer: failure in a Windows system call: The system cannot find the path specified. (0x3)"

Several notes:

• I was able to build and run containers on my pc, it just happened after one of the restarts
• I did try restart the host pc, restart docker client and service, did try docker’s option “reset to default factory settings”, re-install docker, manually removing “windowsfilter” folder
• I did try it with microsoft/aspnet:4.6.2 image (worked for me before) and microsoft/nanosererver image
• After re-install, I am receiving similar error when trying to switch to linux containers as well (think this is related, but not sure, and it is not the main issue) with error:

The system failed to create ‘C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks\MobyLinuxVM.vhdx’. at New-MobyLinuxVM, <No file>: line 218 at <ScriptBlock>, <No file>: line 375 at Docker.Backend.HyperV.RunScript(String action, Dictionary`2 parameters) at Docker.Backend.ContainerEngine.Linux.Start(Settings settings) at Docker.Core.Pipe.NamedPipeServer.<>c__DisplayClass8_0.<Register>b__0(Object[] parameters) at Docker.Core.Pipe.NamedPipeServer.RunAction(String action, Object[] parameters)

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Cannot describe how did I get to this point, but for now I cannot run / start any container
2. I was able to create container by docker create --name t1 microsoft/nanoserver, but not to start it
3. Also, Docker tray icon -> switch to linux containers failed
