as it states, disable he hypervisor.... it's a service under windows. Also, you should start using minikube 1.6.1 1.1.1 is an old version.

Do you mind first upgrading to minikube v1.6.1 and seeing how things work there?

I suggest first running minikube delete before you upgrade, as the VM and configs have changed quite a bit since v1.1 was released.
