If you are also encountering an i/o timeout error like following then this post can help you resolve it.

Error response from daemon: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/library/hello-world/manifests/latest: Get https://auth.docker.io/token?account={your account name here}&scope=repository%3Alibrary%2Fhello-world%3Apull&service=registry.docker.io: dial tcp: lookup auth.docker.io on 192.168.65.1:53: read udp 192.168.65.3:58528->192.168.65.1:53: i/o timeout.

I also faced this error while running hello world container with Docker on my Windows machine.

Here dare the steps I took to resolve this issue.
Open Docker setting by doing right click on Docker icon in system tray.
