startup.nsh and struggling to get VM working

[Genesius10]

Hi all,

 

I followed spaceinvaderones video on setting up a windows 10 VM to the letter.  Shut down the VM to assign it more cores and i couldnt get back into it.  i was greeted by the startup.nsh screen.  Followed some vague instructions 'type exit'  that takes me to the bios, where i cant do anything other than start a system restore by asking it to boot via ipv4.  so thats no good.

 

i try selecting reset, and continue and its just in a loop.   so edited it back to 1 core and then i get VM creation errors and its just problem after problem.

 

I have no removed the VM and im going to try a fresh install.   Is there any reason why this has happened?  have i done something wrong in the set up?

 

no gpu, no passthrough, no sound needed, just tried to set up a basic vm before i decide to buy unraid or not and its not working as expected.

Hi, 

 

I have had the same issue. In my case it turned out the be a bad Windows ISO. I have downloaded a new Windows ISO from the Microsoft website and after that the fresh install was a breeze. 

 

Could you try that?
