Windows 10 VM Freezes, 100% CPU

Featured Replies

I'm struggling to figure out why this keeps happening. It may run a day or two then lock up. Or it could be 6hrs. I've turned off any sleep settings in windows 10, even switched power settings to high performance.

Have you tested virtiofs? remove memfd and shared line if you are not using now.

Still new to this. How/where to do.

 

If I remove those lines I get an error.

 

 

I'm also getting this error from the libvirt log 

2023-06-28 20:50:56.991+0000: 6748: error : virDomainChrDefaultTargetType:9615 : XML error: target type must be specified for channel device

 

 

Also any time I try to change any settings on the VM I get this error 

XML error: target type must be specified for channel device

remove this part along with the w lines I mentioned before.

Still getting the xml error whenever I try to change anything. But the VM does not seem to lock up.

I have copied your XML into my system and it allows me to update with no issues.

Every time I try to change anything I get the xml error. I really don't want to start from scratch but might have to I guess. Hopefully I won't lose the activation.
