I'm curious if this is related to the username having spaces in it, or if the file is missing.

Can you check if C:\Users\Laxmi Computers\.minikube\machines has any files in it?

I had this same error with --vm-driver=hyperv. Resolved it by running minikube delete then reinstalling minkube as administrator. Also depending on your windows license if you go the HyperV route you can only run one VM at a time.

medyagh · 2020-10-28T18:43:05Z

@yogyad @neel8989 do you still have this issue ?
do you mind trying deleteing all your VMs and minikube delete --all and try with latest version of minikube?

have you tried docker driver if you can install docker on your system ?

tstromberg · 2020-12-09T19:18:00Z

I'm closing this issue as it hasn't seen activity in awhile, and it's unclear if this issue still exists. If this issue does continue to exist in the most recent release of minikube, please feel free to re-open it by replying /reopen

If someone sees a similar issue to this one, please re-open it as replies to closed issues are unlikely to be noticed.

Thank you for opening the issue!

I had the same issue. So I did the following and it was solved!!!

minikube delete
download minikube and install it again
download Virtualbox and instal it again
In new cmd, minikube start --driver=virtualbox

I also faced the issue with --vm-driver=hyperv:
Error loading existing host. Please try running [minikube delete], then run [minikube start] again.: filestore "minikube"
I resolved it by uninstalling Docker that I installed earlier and then executing the 'minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv '

jtabasz · 2021-09-22T04:32:00Z

Getting same issue. Using W10 Pro, Hyper-V, choco install minikube. All that works. Hyper-V enabled. Docker has been uninstalled. I run minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv, I can see the VM called minikube being created in the Hyper-V manager, but the minikube start fails after some time. looks like the VM created by minikube has no IP address.

Here's the reasons:

You had a previous installation of minikube or
You have not enabled Hyper V or

Take this steps in order to get yourself out:

For reason (1) above; run the following command on powershell: minikube delete --all --purge and then minikube delete --all --purge
For reason (2) above; run the following commands on powershell: Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All and minikube config set driver hyperv to set hyper v as default driver then followed by minikube start --driver=hyperv

I hope this helps!

If you are experincing this error "ind the file specified.

Failed to start hyperv VM. Running "minikube delete" may fix it: error loading existing host. Please try running [minikube delete], then run [minikube start] again: filestore "minikube": open C:\Users\AMOS.minikube\machines\minikube\config.json: The system cannot find the file specified.

Related issue: StartHost failed, but will try again: Error loading existing host. Please try running [minikube delete], then run [minikube start] again.: filestore "minikube": #9130"

Here's the reasons:

You have not enabled Hyper V or

Take this steps in order to get yourself out:

For reason (1) above; run the following command on powershell: minikube delete --all --purge and then minikube delete --all --purge

For reason (2) above; run the following commands on powershell: Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All and minikube config set driver hyperv to set hyper v as default driver then followed by minikube start --driver=hyperv

I hope this helps!

Thanks, mate. It resolved the issue.

Issue I was facing is not enough space in memory to create docker container on local machine.

These steps help me to solve the issue:

Close all tabs in Google Chrome, Close programs that are currently
running on memory in my local machine. Because of taking much space docker
container wouldn't be able to create container on machine.
then minikube delete

$ minikube delete

then minikube start.

$ minikube start

It works for me.
