How to customize the RAM allocation on Docker for Windows

0 votes
Starting Docker for windows app takes up too much RAM.

When I start docker for windows memory usage increases to 1.5 GB out of 6 GB and this is without even running a container. How can I prevent docker from taking up so much RAM?

You can customize the RAM allocation. Just decrease memory usage on the app.

Go to settings > Advanced tab > you can allocate CPUs and so on.
