NoVNC error when installing either Windows 10 or Windows 7 VMs

[Shahmatt]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to set up either a Windows 10 or 7 VM.

 

For both OS's the VM is able to start and I get the Windows start screen. But as it proceeds to the first step of installation I get a noVNC error and failure to connect to the server.

 

I've googled the problem and found that clearing the cache could help fix the problem. I tried doing that but to no avail.

 

I would appreciate any advice on how I should proceed. Thanks.

Can you post a screenshot of the error?

Hi,

 

Here is a screenshot. When I press the "Connect" button I get the "Failed to connect..." on top.

I can't seem to resolve this problem whatever I do. The connection always fails as Windows (either 7 or 10) starts.

 

I've tried logging on from another PC but the same problem persists, so not a browser issue.

 

Could VNC have hardware incompatibility issues? I am using a somewhat ancient i3-2100 CPU.

Are you sure the VM is still running? (VM tab)

Thanks. I didn't think to consider this. But indeed yes, the VM stops running at the same time the signal is lost.

 

So the problem is to do with something else. I need to understand why the VM would be failing just as Windows loads.

Is it stopped or paused?

It is stopped
