@vivekaglawe You didn't put a lot of details. I don't know it this can help you, I've just setup Minikube and I had the same error message. I've uninstalled Minikube and installed the version 1.7.2 (solution of another thread for another problem). I was then prompted with a new error. Found out it was the version 6.0 of Virtual Box that was the issue. I've installed version 6.1.4 of Virtual Box and it works now. I haven't try another time with the latest version of Minikube. If you do, let me know. Thanks,

@vivekaglawe - Where is the "The full output of the command that failed"? I can't tell what version of minikube or what hypervisor you are using :(

I assume virtualbox?

I am getting similar error in windows.

Below is the command issued the error that i am getting.

C:>minikube start --driver=hyperv

• minikube v1.8.2 on Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0.18363 Build 18363
• Using the hyperv driver based on existing profile
• Creating hyperv VM (CPUs=2, Memory=4000MB, Disk=20000MB) ...

X Unable to start VM. Please investigate and run 'minikube delete' if possible: creating host: create host timed out in 120.000000 seconds

• minikube is exiting due to an error. If the above message is not useful, open an issue:

I was facing the same problem and I found a root cause.
Cause your hyper-v virtual switch is not correct for minikube (minikube chose a default from your).
So you need to create a new hyper-v virtual switch from Hyper-V manager with connection type is an external network.
Afterward, you need to add a param to your minikube cli like below:
minikube start --driver=hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch=minikube-switch
