I am attempting to create a W11 VM. I have created the VM with the VM config at the bottom of this post, ensuring the virtio image and W11 ISO exist. Once I start the VM, it shows as "started", however if I connect via noVNC I receive a "Failed to connect to server" error. In my server syslog, I also receive the following error I was previously running a W11 VM successfully, but I found that it became very slow, I decided to create a new VM to see if this would continue to be an issue - unfortunately I can't get as far as connecting via noVNC now. I have since read other posts from people suffering from slow VMs since a recent update; so I assume there may be an issue introduced with the update. Any advice greatly appreciated. I tried to find a thread VM config: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <domain type='kvm' id='2'> <name>Windows 11</name> <uuid>b42d7f87-8868-8a81-acf9-d7238c7cb402</uuid> <metadata> <vmtemplate

Based on Mr Beast's comment I just clicked reinitialize and can confirm it now reads "up-to-date" for me as well. Many thanks.

When we encounter a failure, what should we be doing to "retry"? Simply pressing the "Update" button or should we be retinitializing or deactivating and reactivating? Without fail it says "Failed to sync flash backup" for me, and it hasn't once connected, so I'm just wanting to check I'm pressing the right buttons to try and get it working. Thank you.

Same here, latest patch applied but still no success.
