New VM shuts down when booting the Windows ISO for initial setup

Featured Replies

I have been a long-time Unraid user for about 10 years or so but have never attempted to use VM's on it until now.  I am following this guide and currently on the "Start the VM" step.  I power the VM on and press any key to boot to the ISO, I see a light blue background for maybe 15-30 seconds that looks like the Win10 setup is getting ready to launch, and then the VM just shut's down.  In the VM log I see the following.

I haven't gotten to the point where I am trying to pass through any devices and just trying to do the initial setup.  I have watched the Space Invader One videos and scoured the forums looking for a possible solution but so far nothing seems to be working.  

 

Any ideas on where I should look first to try and identify the issue?  Any more information I need to provide?

 

Thanks!

I rebuilt my Win10 Install media 2 more times and finally I got something to work. Not sure why my other two ISO's were corrupted but that seems to be what my problem was.  Marking this as solved.
