Answer 1

I also experienced the same issue on my Windows 10 enterprise machine. Following below steps correctly probably solved my problem:

1. Start the Windows Powershell as administrator. Note starting with administrator privileges is essential.

2. Execute command

   Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All

3. After successful execution, restart the system.

4. Execute command

   DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /All /FeatureName:Microsoft-Hyper-V

5. Execute command

   minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv
