✅ Solution: Correcting the Credential Store Key

The fix requires editing the Docker configuration file to correct a common mismatch in the credential store key.

    Locate the configuration file in your home directory:

        ~/.docker/config.json

    Edit the file and change the key from credsStore (plural) to credStore (singular).

Configuration Change Example

Before (Incorrect):
JSON

{
  "auths": {
    "https://index.docker.io/v1/": {}
  },
  "credsStore": "desktop"
}

After (Correct):
JSON

{
  "auths": {
    "https://index.docker.io/v1/": {}
  },
  "credStore": "desktop"
}
