Description

i am running command "minikube dashboard" to open the dashoard in the default browser (chrome) but getting the error message - " Opening http://127.0.0.1:64331/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/http:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/ in your default browser... X Exiting due to HOST_BROWSER: failed to open browser: exec: "cmd": executable file not found in %PATH%" what may be the problem and how to solve this .

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the 'exec: "cmd": executable file not found in %PATH%' error on Windows. Check how minikube opens the browser and ensure the command is run in an environment where 'cmd' is available. Look at the relevant code in the minikube repository that handles browser opening.
