Minikube start is not working correctly


firstly I had a false error of virtualisation not enabled and now this problem with vboxhardening.

This sounds like a problem with your virtualization settings. Please take a look at this Microsoft support page and make sure that things are set up right. You can then try deleting the previous minikube install (minikube delete) and then run minikube start again.

virtualisation is already enabled from bios.
what me be the other cause?

I notice that you’re using Windows 11 Home Edition, which does have some issues with virtualization. Please take a look at this video and make sure that you’ve enabled virtualization in a way that will work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qecdis2TS2s

I have limited ability to help you with Windows specific errors; you may want to try the following instead of using HyperV, which may well just not work on that platform. You can also try:

  • Using VirtualBox and see if that works for you using the “virtualbox” driver.
  • Install Docker Desktop for Windows and use the “docker” driver.
