When I run this command:

minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv

minikube cannot start and displays the following error:

minikube v1.7.2 on Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise

Using the hyperv driver based on user configuration

! 'hyperv' driver reported an issue: C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-All -Online failed:

Suggestion: Start PowerShell as Administrator, and run: 'Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All'

X hyperv does not appear to be installed

so I followed the message displayed and I launched the command:

Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-All -Online

and it shows me the following result:

FeatureName : Microsoft-Hyper-V-All DisplayName : Hyper-V Description : Provides management services and tools for creating and running virtual machines and their resources virtuels et de leurs ressources. RestartRequired : Possible State : Enabled CustomProperties :

Also, I have verified that Hyper-v is installed correctly. I have minikube 1.7.2 installed. Any idea how to solve this issues ?

Thanks for your help.

have you tried this suggestion, Suggestion: Start PowerShell as Administrator, and run: 'Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All'? - Mauricio
yes, but i still have the same issue - BobL
I haven't dug too deep yet but have been facing this problem all afternoon. After noticing that minikube 1.7.x was just released in the last week I downgraded to 1.6.2. Without making any other changes, minikube is now working for me. I haven't checked to see in which version of 1.7 this problem was introduced, but can at least confirm that 1.6.2 doesn't have the problem so it must be a bug. - Matt Scully

Once minikube is installed, run the following command in powershell( as Administrator)

  1. minikube config set driver hyperv
  2. minikube delete
  3. minikube start --vm-driver=Hyper-V
