<p>Try this command - It will work. I faced the similar issue on my Laptop.
Tried multiple ways to resolve this issue however nothing has worked for me.
Also, the error message states that VT-X/AMD-V should be enabled in BIOS which is mandatory but this cannot be found in my BIOS settings.
I tried the below command to resolve this issue and the minikube started normally.</p>
<p><strong>minikube start --no-vtx-check</strong></p>
