Hi Stephen Very interesting and thanks for the workaround – we will also look to implement this on our platform

From: Stephan Bienek <stephan....@bienek.org> Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2023 7:42 PM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Re: Windows guests hang on boot up Hi Gary, indeed we are seeing the same on all of our KVM based virtualization platform, for example CloudStack and Proxmox. We usually see this behavior when rebooting after updates. As we update and reboot using Ansible, we implemented a check if the reboot failed within the defined timeout. If the normal windows reboot failed, we execute a shutdown and start of the VM via the virtualizations platform API. After the shutdown and start, Windows is always booting normal again. A workaround because we did not find the root cause for the issue, but we know many others suffer the same issue.

It is the same issue as reported here https://borncity.com/win/2023/04/04/kvm-bug-windows-vms-can-hang-at-boot-after-11-days/ and also seems to be affecting other solutions that use KVM/Libvirt as the hypervisor such as proxmox If so has anyone found a fix ?
