Container is not accessible if the user is not logged in

Question

I am using Docker Desktop on a Windows 10 client that is a member of an Active Directory domain. The users on our network want GitLab as a Docker container.

The Gitlab container runs on the Win 10 Client without any issues using the following command when i am logged in:

docker run `
  --detach `
  --hostname gitlab.companydomain.de `
  --ip 192.168.178.35 `
  --publish 443:443 --publish 80:80 --publish 22:22 `
  --name gitlab `
  --restart always `
  --volume $env:GITLAB_HOME/config:/etc/gitlab `
  --volume $env:GITLAB_HOME/logs:/var/log/gitlab `
  --volume $env:GITLAB_HOME/data:/var/opt/gitlab `
  --shm-size 256m `
  gitlab/gitlab-ce:15.4.0-ce.0 `

My problem is the following: The GitLab container doesn't run if the system has started and i am not logged in.

I have tried several configurations that i found in the internet.

First, I registered dockerd as a service with the following command:

dockerd --register-service

Then I enabled ports 22, 80 and 443 for incoming and outgoing packets in the Windows firewall.

Then I tried to adapt the daemon.json file to my needs. But I don't know if I have set the values for hosts correctly or if some values are missing. Maybe the value "hosts": ["tcp://0.0.0.0:2375", "npipe://"] needs to be set to port 80 because the gitlab container is listening on port 80?
