Hello Alexandru, I’m not able to see the image. Would you please check the value for the key “rootDiskController” in both template and the Windows VM if the template OS type is “Windows PV” already? You’ll find it in the settings section.

I tried to deploy a W10 instance, with the virtio drivers, and the performance is very, very poor (for example it took almost 3 hours to install a CU, the actual setup took about 50 minutes and so on). The hypervisor kvm on a HP server, with ssd's for storage. In other apps there are those hyper-v enlightments that can be enabled for Windows guests and it really makes a difference, but I have no idea if this is a thing in ACS too.
