<p>When I run this command:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv</p>
</blockquote>

<p>minikube cannot start and displays the following error:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>minikube v1.7.2 on Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise </p>
  
  <p>Using the hyperv driver based on user configuration</p>
  
  <p>! 'hyperv' driver reported an issue: C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-All -Online failed:</p>
  
  <p>Suggestion: Start PowerShell as Administrator, and run: 'Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All'</p>
  
  <p>X hyperv does not appear to be installed</p>
</blockquote>

<p>so I followed the message displayed and I launched the command:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-All -Online</p>
</blockquote>

<p>and it shows me the following result:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>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 :</p>
</blockquote>

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

<p>Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>finally, i was able to launch minikube with --force flag, there is an issue with minikube 1.7.2 described here  <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/6579" rel="noreferrer">#6579</a></p>
