Unable to create Windows VMs that boot in Unraid 6.7.2

I've set up two different systems running unraid 6.7.2 and have had issues setting up Windows VMs.

 

I use the template in the VM creator for Windows Server 2016 and link up the ISO.

I start the VM and boot from removable media.

And this is all i get.

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:

 

File: \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD

Status: 0xc000000d

Info: The boot configuration data for your PC is missing or contains errors.

 

I have this on both unraid systems when creating a Windows Server or Windows 10 VM.

 

I have tried different ISO files and have tried different templates.

 

Has anyone got any ideas?

Just wanted to add that I gave up.

I think I grabbed the Windows Server 2019 eval ISO and tried with that instead.
I managed to get Windows Server VMs running without issues in a newer version of Unraid.

Are you on the latest version of unraid?
