minikube: minikube start with hyper-v won't resolve guest ip-address

I had this same trouble on my machine. After some troubleshooting and head banging, it became apparent that the external network adapter had an ethernet adapter selected that was not connected to a network. (ethernet selected, instead of the wireless adapter). Of course an IP wont be allocated on an external network if none is connected.

Once the connected wireless adapter was selected (an adapter actually connected to a DHCP network), all was good. While rather silly on the end, I hope this helps someone with the same “IP loop” issue

Works for me when changed: minikube start --vm-driver hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch "Primary Virtual Switch" to: minikube start --vm-driver hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch "Default Switch"

Also running into this issue.

Minikube version v0.25.0

I get these logs by running this command:

minikube start --vm-driver="hyperv" --memory=4096 --cpus=4 --hyperv-virtual-switch="New Virtual
Switch" --v=7 --alsologtostderr

Same issue on:

Windows 10 Pro Minikube v0.30.0

I am facing the error too on a Windows 10 Pro machine. I have the same log output like @cforce. I tested with 0.24.1, 0.22.2, and 0.19.1. In addition, I checked whether /usr/sbin/hv_kvp_daemon is running (as suggested by @mikemcgo). It is running.

The first mention of this bug/behaviour re-appearing was 2018-01-05 - over a month after 0.24.1 was released. This could be an indicator that a Windows Update or similar triggered this.
