Note down if Docker Desktop will be used by non-admin users. If so, consider using the `--always-run-service` installer flag. This will prevent the `com.docker.service` service from prompting non-admin users with a User Account Control (UAC) elevation prompt when using Docker Desktop. See [Installer Flags](#installer-flags) for more detail.
