I've got a Windows 10 VM running on my Unraid server which decides to pause itself after a few hours.   It is stored on the cache disk, a 250GB SSD which has about 60GB free and formatted as XFS.  The Windows VM itself is a 100GB image and has plenty of free space.  When I resume the image it runs fine (until the next time it pauses).  I have tried increasing memory from 4GB to 8GB which didn't fix the issue either.   I have a second Unraid server configured almost identically which runs a Server 2019 instance and that doesn't exhibit the same issue.  

 

Any tips on getting to the bottom of this?  I can't see anything useful in the VM logs but can attach anything required.

Have you set the power option not to sleep in windows?

😳 

...quietly changes settings from "sleep after 30mins" and waits to report back...

Has been behaving perfectly since I made that change - thanks!
