minishift: Minishift wont start on windows

General information

I have download the latest version and try to install. I am running minishift on Windows 7 from gitbash and with the minishift start --vm-driver=virtualbox command. After i install it the first time i run minishift start. I have install and uninstall minishift many times It run’s on VM but not showing the web console at all. Once i was even able to deploy a rubi application and a node.js but the most times is failing. what can i do to fix this what have i done wrong?This must be easy to use . I have spend many hours but with no luck. thanks

• Minishift version: minishift-1.25.0-windows-amd64
• OS: Linux / macOS / Windows Windows 7
• Hypervisor: KVM / xhyve / Hyper-V / VirtualBox VirtualBox Version 5.2.6 r120293 (Qt5.6.2)

Steps to reproduce

1. minishift start --vm-driver=virtualbox

Expected

To have a minishift running on web console to be able to deploy an application

Actual

https://192.168.99.100:8443/healthz?timeout=32s: dial tcp 192.168.99.100:8443: connect: connection refused () Error: timed out waiting for the condition

if by accident minishift starts then i cannot deploy.
