Hey @bodachaitanya -

Sorry to hear that minikube isn't working for you yet. It seems like minikube isn't able to correctly work with Hyper-V, likely due to a small configuration issue: Do you mind sharing the output of these 3 commands so that I can make the appropriate suggestion?

• minikube start --vm-driver hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch "Primary Virtual Switch" --alsologtostderr -v=1
• systeminfo
• Get-VMSwitch -SwitchType External

Thank you!

@bodachaitanya - I believe this issue is now addressed by minikube v1.4, as it no longer requires a virtual switch to be defined. If you still see this issue with minikube v1.4 or higher, please reopen this issue by commenting with /reopen

Thank you for reporting this issue!
