Minikube doesn't start on Windows Server 2019

Question

I've installed Minikube to use along with Docker on Windows Server 2019. However, when I try to start with minikube start , it shows the follow errors:

Failed to start hyperv VM. Running "minikube delete" may fix it: Error loading existing host.

Hyper-V\Start-VM minikube

 CategoryInfo: NotSpecified: (:) [Start-VM], VirtualizationException FullyQualifiedErrorId: OperationFailed,Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.Commands.StartVM

minikube delete does not fix it.

When I start with minikube start --driver=hyper-v , it shows:

Exiting due to DRV_UNSUPPORTED_OS: The driver 'hyper-v' is not supported on windows/amd64

I already made an external switch on HyperV, as suggested in some videos, but it also did not work.

How can I fix it?

Answer 1

Have you enabled hyper-v?
On sv2019 you can practice k8s by enabling it on docker desktop, it's much easier and simpler.
