* minikube v1.34.0 on Microsoft Windows 11 Home 10.0.22631.4602 Build 22631.4602
* Unable to pick a default driver. Here is what was considered, in preference order:
  - docker: Not healthy: "docker version --format {{.Server.Os}}-{{.Server.Version}}:{{.Server.Platform.Name}}" exit status 1: error during connect: Get "http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2FdockerDesktopLinuxEngine/v1.47/version": open //./pipe/dockerDesktopLinuxEngine: The system cannot find the file specified.
  - docker: Suggestion:  <https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/drivers/docker/>
  - hyperv: Not healthy: Hyper-V requires Administrator privileges
  - hyperv: Suggestion: Right-click the PowerShell icon and select Run as Administrator to open PowerShell in elevated mode. <>
* Alternatively you could install one of these drivers:
  - virtualbox: Not installed: unable to find VBoxManage in $PATH
  - qemu2: Not installed: exec: "qemu-system-x86_64": executable file not found in %PATH%
  - podman: Not installed: exec: "podman": executable file not found in %PATH%

Resolve by

All you need is to remove containerd service and reinstall it again
