Answer 1

You are getting the following error:

Exiting due to GUEST_START: Failed kubeconfig update: could not read config: Error decoding config from data control character are not allowed

and

getting k8s client: client config: error loading config file "C:\Users<Your User>/.kube/config control characters are not allowed

Those errors indicates that your $KUBECONFIG has an invalid character in it.

Troubleshooting

For the future use, please provide more detailed information. It's well described in Minikube Troubleshooting . The following commands might provide useful information for troubleshooting:

$ minikube logs
$ minikube start --alsologtostderr -v=2
$ kubectl config view

In minikube output there is also updating the running virtualbox "minikube" VM It might be related with network changes.

Possible Solution

• Remove config file from C:\Users\<Your User>/.kube/ and start minikube again.
• Update your Minikube to newest version (current is 1.16).
• Recreate your minikube cluster using minikube delete and create new one.
• Execite minikube update context .
