This step may prevent a problem in which `minikube start` hangs indefinitely, unable to ssh into the minikube virtual machine. In this add, add the `--hyperv-virtual-switch=switch-name` argument to the `minikube start` command. + +On some machines, having **dynamic memory management** turned on for the minikube VM can cause problems of unexpected and random restrarts which manifests itself in simply losing the connetion to the cluster, after which `minikube status` would simply state `localkube stopped`. Machine restarts are caused due to following Hyper-V error: `The dynamic memory balancer could not add memory to the virtual machine 'minikube' because its configured maximum has been reached`. **Solution**: turned the dynamic memory management in hyper-v settings off (and allocate a fixed amount of memory to the machine).
