Hi @nirajanpdl, you should be able to run minikube config set WantUpdateNotification false, however, the logic is incorrectly doing the curl command before checking the config value, so in the current state it will still attempt to make a call, I'll make a PR to correct this.

Just following up, the call to the releases file is not what's causing your start to fail, it's trying to pull the Kubernetes version list from GitHub is the issue that's causing your start to fail. You should be able to resolve this by using Kubernetes v1.31.0 instead of Kubernetes v1.31.1 and that version wasn't out when we did our last release. Also, have you been following our offline docs? You'll need to have an internet connection at some point to download dependencies, please see: https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/handbook/offline/

Yes with kubernetes version 1.31.0, we are not facing any issue since minikube v1.34.0 defaults to k8s 1.31.0. But, Our requirement is to use kubernetes version 1.31.1. in air gapped environment.

I observed that when using non default kubernetes version, minikube startup is failing starting from minikube v1.33.0.

Note: when I use minikube v1.31.2 on k8s 1.31.1 it works perfectly in air gapped environment. So the issue is seen after v1.33.0.

Some Kubernetes version validation that was added is what you're hitting, this should be resolved for offline usage, but in the meantime adding --force to your start command should prevent this validation from failing your start.
