<p>I'm just getting started with kuberneted on Windows 10.
I downloaded the bits from <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases" rel="noreferrer">here</a>.</p>

<p>While attempting to start minikube from powershell:</p>

<pre><code>PS C:\WINDOWS\system32&gt; minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv
</code></pre>

<p>I'm encountering the error:</p>

<pre><code>Starting local Kubernetes v1.8.0 cluster...
Starting VM...
E1202 06:53:29.869106    2368 start.go:150] Error starting host: Error starting stopped host: exit status 1.
</code></pre>

<p>While the documentation does not mention any prerequisites to run minikube, is there any setting on Windows 10 that needs to change to make it run?</p>

<p>While I do not completely understand what happend, I chanced upon <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/1400" rel="noreferrer">this article</a>.    </p>

<hr>

<p>I got minikube running using the following steps:   </p>

<pre><code> PS C:\WINDOWS\system32&gt; minikube delete 
 PS C:\WINDOWS\system32&gt; kubectl config use-context minikube
 PS C:\WINDOWS\system32&gt; minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv
</code></pre>
