Docker Machine could not reach ip address/machine successfully using hyperv

Question

I tried to create a machine on Windows 10 with hyperv with the following command:

docker-machine create --driver hyperv default

But it gave me:

This machine has been allocated an IP address, but Docker Machine could not
reach it successfully.

Here's the full output:

$ docker-machine create --driver hyperv default
Running pre-create checks...

This machine has been allocated an IP address, but Docker Machine could not
reach it successfully.

SSH for the machine should still work, but connecting to exposed ports, such as
the Docker daemon port (usually <ip>:2376), may not work properly.

You may need to add the route manually, or use another related workaround.

This could be due to a VPN, proxy, or host file configuration issue.

You also might want to clear any VirtualBox host only interfaces you are not using.
Checking connection to Docker...
Docker is up and running!
To see how to connect your Docker Client to the Docker Engine running on this virtual machine, run: C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\bin\docker-machine.exe env default

Although I can connect the machine via docker-machine ssh default.

First I thought that this error caused by virtualbox which is also installed, but its removing didn't help. As well as removing .docker folder.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

You should try adding a Hyper-V Virtual Switch, similar to here. Then try again to create the machine like this:

docker-machine create -d hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch "Virtual Switch1" manager1
