Further research showed me that the issue is already solved through #4424, but the version 0.14.1 with the fix still unreleased...

Hyper-v is the preferred solution for docker machine running on windows. Yet the stable release of docker for windows ships with a broken version that can't use hyper-v
I can't get "docker-machine create --driver hyperv test" to work without downloading the 0.13.0 executable and using it.
Please release a docker for windows with the fixed 0.14.01 docker-machine as a matter of some urgency.
I'm finding stable docker for windows littered with bugs. Docker-machine env driverNoneMachine gives a docker_host variable with a URL that docker info can't consume. I have to manually fix the docker_host variable . And the list goes on...

Just to let you guys know, if you need this right now the workaround is to downgrade your docker-machine file (in windows Located in either C:Program FilesDocker Toolbox or C:Program FilesDockerDockerresourcesbin) with the v0.13.0 version located here https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/tag/v0.13.0. I was able to get it to work with this.

v0.13.0 solution worked for me initially, but unfortunately (and @moozoo64 is right about that), digging deeper, it created other problems like HTTP/1.x transport connection broken: malformed HTTP response, and also other errors on Windows 10 in hyperv mode.
I keep in mind that these errors might also be caused by version incompatibility, since in this workaround we are downgrading only part of the package..
Therefore, for now, I'm not going to investigate it in details any more,...
Heading back to Linux for further exploration of new docker capabilities...

FYI, the workaround does not work on widows 2016 server

I did try an exe built from master on 4/18/18 11:00PM and it got past the pre-machine check on windows 10 and windows 2016. But failed later on other issue. I am filing isssues for what I find

Here is the solution

https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.15.0/docker-machine-Windows-x86_64.exe

Save the downloaded file to your existing directory containing docker-machine.exe.

For my system this is the location for docker-machine.exe
/c/Program Files/Docker/Docker/Resources/bin/docker-machine.exe

Backup the old file and replace it file with the new one.

cp docker-machine.exe docker-machine.014.exe

Rename the downloaded filename to docker-machine.exe

mv docker-machine-Windows-x86_64.exe docker-machine.exe

Build Instructions

1. Create virtual switch in Hyper-V manager named myswitch
2. Request Docker to create a VM named myvm1

docker-machine create -d hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch "myswitch" myvm1

Results

docker-machine create -d hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch "myswitch" myvm1

@webstandardcss thanks, I've noticed that even w/o creating a switch it works just fine. So weird that for so many months a very major bug that has been introduced hasn't been fixed, until now.

[webstandardcss]

Ilan, I am grateful to hear from you.

I agree that the fix that has persisted in source at the HEAD of the repo
got a release download for us mere mortals to use.

You're welcome.
