August 18, 20232 yr Granted, I'm clearly very new to Unraid and Linux environments, but I've been trying for 2 weeks to get a simple windows VM working with zero luck. I tried 3 different windows 10 isos but none of them could load the virtio drivers. I gave up on that and I've been trying windows 11. After 2 days of troubleshooting I can get the install process started, but eventually the screen just goes black. Nothing brings it back except a force stop, which restarts the install process. Nothing I google brings up a solution that works for me. I feel like Unraid should have better tutorials for using such a basic feature we're paying for.
August 19, 20232 yr Every one I ran went without a hitch. I always follow the spaceinvader one videos on youtube. After you get it running you need to add the virtio guest services to get hibernate support, otherwise the VM can cause unraid shutdown hiccups when Windows wants an update.
