Unfortunately that didn’t help in my case. also tried your idea on booting the vm with no cables attached but no luck. whatever I try, I can only boot windows in Safe Mode with GPU passthrough. Once I boot normally, it freezes on the tianocore boot screen, I believe at the moment the drivers are loaded and the GPU is utilized. reinstalling windows works fine til the point of driver installation, then I get a black screen and restarting the VM results in same boot logo freeze.

What did you do to resolve this? running into the same issue here....

I have just today moved from the Radeon 280x to the Radeon RX 5700 XT videocard however this is having an issue I am not able to figure out. Unraid starts fine and I have tried this both in legacy and UEFI bios mode. The GPU is the only one present in the system, there is no onboard GPU or 2nd CPU for unraid to use. The VM is set to use Q-35 and OVMF. The Graphics card ‘AMD Navi 10’ and the Soundcard ‘AMD Navi 10 HDMI Audio’ are both assigned to the VM to passthrough. I have tried this with no vbios attached, one I dumped myself from this card and two I got from TechPowerUp. - If I use no vbios attached, I have to “reset” the card via a script on Unraid before booting the VM. Only then I will get a screen. - If I use the dumped bios from my own card, (with or without the reset) the VM boots but the screen does not work at all. - If I use either vbios from TechPowerUp for this card, I can start the VM without a reset (also tried with a reset). In all scenarios, the VM will boot Windows but after a little while it will hang at the Windows boot loading circle, the circle is no longer going around, its frozen. (See attached image) The only way to boot windows is by going into Safe Mode, once I uninstalled the AMD drivers, I can boot into windows normally. Once I install the AMD drivers, the VM crashes at 40% (where it initializes the drivers I believe) and when restarting the VM I get back at a stuck boot loading circle and have to do the “safe mode” again to uninstall the drivers. Installing a new VM with a fresh install of Windows 10 seems to work fine up til the point I install the AMD drivers again, VM crashes at 40% of the driver installation and starting the VM results in the boot loading circle freeze. I believe the problem is with the drivers but using an older version of the driver does not make a difference. Is there anyone who has run into this issue before?

Thanks - Added to opening post.

Hi all, I seem to have a problem where Unraid is having an extremely slow internet connection and I am not sure where I need to look to fix it. Let me start by saying that everything internally is as fast as it can go, I can utilize the entire bandwidth of the NIC between all devices on the internal network. The problem appears to be when Unraid is going outside of the network; Checking for updates on dockers, Speedtest.net, downloading docker images etc... Speedtest is showing a ping response time of 3000+ ms and only a up/download speed of 3 to 4 Mb while the WAN is 400/40. When I have Unraid check for updates on the docker containers, it will keep checking like forever, if I look like 2 hours later it will know which dockers are ready to be updated. Performing that update will take quite long and when installing a new image, you can actually see it is slowly retrieving the files. The strangest thing is that the Docker containers and VM's running on the same Unraid box are NOT showing the same symptoms, they work fine to my surprise which seems to rule out the NIC/hardware itself. Unraid is connected via 2 NIC's, one is an Intel 1Gb port, the other is a 10Gb port by atlantic but running as 1Gb as active-backup setting. I have tried to work with only one NIC (tested both) but that does not change the situation. DNS is set to pi-hole and the connection is full-duplex 1500 MTU. Unraid has a static IP. The router used is PfSense running on ESXI, for some reason I am suspecting the issue to be here based on the fact that I have ran an Sophos UTM before where I did not had this issue, yet I am unsure if the issue started moving to PfSense or later, unfortunately I have only just noticed the issue. Anyone have any idea or further tips to give for me to have a look at? anything would help, thanks in advance. *Edit: added diagnostics zip file tower-diagnostics-20180816-2058.zip

+1 I am not that bothered by saving a VM but one thing I am missing for sure is snapshots. Could have saved me a dozen rebuilds of VM's because I screwed something up There is another topic floating around on the snapshot request that mentions that this is coming though but unfortunally it seems its not in this 6.2 beta release yet

Awesome! good progress has been made updating Unraid to become even better :-) Still missing snapshot support for virtual machines, hoping it will be in a near future release....
