Docker for Windows error kubectl context missing

Question

I have installed the Edge version of Docker for Windows 18.05.0-ce (Windows 10 Hyper-V) and enabled Kubernetes afterwards. When I ran this on my other machine, a kubectl context was created automatically, but on this new machine it was not.

Is there a way to make Docker for Windows create the context?

Answer 1

There is an issue with docker for windows when the HOMEDRIVE is set my a corporate policy.

If you set the $KUBECONFIG environment variable to C:\Users\my_username\.kube\config

 This should work.
