This seems to be working perfectly on my end in a windows machine!

From your attached error file it appears the error signs are because of Docker!

Could you check if you have docker running using these commands: docker ps

If Docker is not running, start it using the Dcoker Desktop Application or by running the following commands on elevated PowerShell window: net start com.docker.service

Hi @cbarik29, your minikube version is very old, please update to the latest version of minikube then run minikube delete --all to clear out the old clusters before trying to start them again.
