Bug report.
I'm attempting to use minikube for the first time, and am not sure why it's failing.
The output:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> minikube start
Starting local Kubernetes v1.10.0 cluster...
Starting VM...

Retrying.

I'm not particularly familiar with the docker machine codebase or golang, but from what I can tell, that particular precheck calls hypervAvailable(), which in turn runs (Get-Module -ListAvailable hyper-v).Name | Get-Unique and then checks to see if the string "Hyper-V" is present in stdout.
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> (Get-Module -ListAvailable hyper-v).Name | Get-Unique
Hyper-V
It seems that it should be passing. I've also verified that the hyper-v powershell module is working through more practical tests.
Please provide the following details:
Environment:
Minikube version : 0.26.0
- OS : Windows 10, build 16299, Powershell version 5.1.16299.251
- VM Driver : hyperv
- ISO version: N/A
- Install tools:
- Others: installed via chocolatey, though I tried downloading the executable as well.
What happened: The install fails a precheck and does not attempt to proceed.
What you expected to happen: I would expect the install to continue, because hyper-v and the related powershell module are both available.
Anything else do we need to know: I am unsure of what other data may be useful, or how to determine if this is somehow an issue with my machine—it seems like a pretty straightforward precheck, and it should clearly be passing. The powershell module is not newly installed, but I've tried rebooting and relaunching powershell just for kicks, no change in behavior.
