"Bricking" is when your electronic device stops working, i.e. becomes a brick. Docker is known to occasionally brick Windows machines.

Wait… what!?

This is the first I’m hearing of this. Do you have any references?

You can find many references by googling some variations of keywords Docker, Windows, brick

Docker itself doesn't seem to have the best quality control for their official releases, so blindly upgrading Docker will likely bite you in the ass if you do it for a few years. :(
