Thanks a lot for your answer @mico but I already knew how  I can add a service to auto start on windows logon. I thought that minikube had a parameter for this as i already included in my question (autostart-enabled=off) but I don’t know how I can change it

Actually there is an issue rising when Docker Desktop is not fully initialized at that time and `minikube start` fails, I wonder if there would be a way to wait for docker/kubernetes to start before launching minikube

<p>You could create a bat script <code>minikube start</code> and add it as a scheduled job that start on start up of windows</p>

How I can set minikube to auto start on windows 10 login? I checked but I can't find anything on google.

I saw that there is a default parameter `autostart-enabled=off` but I dont know where I can set it.

At the moment after I restart my pc I can see in Hyper-V Manager that the minikube machine is running but when I try minikube dashboard in terminal I get:

> minikube is not currently running so the service cannot be accessed
