I installed Minikube on Windows 10 but can't get it to run. I tried to start it with:
minikube start --vm-driver=hypervThe first error was:
[HYPERV_NO_VSWITCH] create: precreate: no External vswitch found. A valid vswitch must be available for this command to run.I then searched on Google and found the solution to this error with this page:
https://www.codingepiphany.com/2019/01/04/kubernetes-minikube-no-external-vswitch-found/I then fixed the problem by defining a vswitch but I got this error:
minikube start --vm-driver hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch "Minikube"
o minikube v1.0.1 on windows (amd64)
$ Downloading Kubernetes v1.14.1 images in the background ...

* Sorry that minikube crashed. If this was unexpected, we would love to hear from you:
- https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/new This is a pretty generic error. What do I do to get this working? Thanks!
I got the same problem just now. Unable to understand the note given by cmd, I tried open the minikube VM via the Hyper-V GUI, and the GUI provided me with a more comprehensible note: "memory is not adequate"—— exactly this note helped me to know the problem. I then closed Docker VM (I had opened before), which must have taken a large amount of memory, and started minikube in cmd again, the minikube VM just started as expected.
In a word, this is a problem of limited memory
You need to create a Virtual Switch in the HyperV GUI ins Windows and then run it with minikube start --vm-driver hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch "Primary Virtual Switch"
