Shutdown and Restart both result in "Paused" for Windows 10 VM

I recently got a new Unraid server going and everything seems to be  working fine. I have a Windows 10 VM running with USB and PCI pass through (GPU) working well. The only issue I've run into is that no matter what I do, when I either restart or shutdown the Windows 10 it only goes into the "paused" state. I've followed the videos to make the power profile correct but it did not make a difference. I can 'force stop' it from the Unraid VM management and that works fine, but it's kind of annoying. Anybody have any tips?

Are you sure Windows isn't trying to install updates before shutdown?

 

Yes, It's done it every single boot.. from fresh install to now. I can manually run updates and nothing needs to be done and it always does the same thing. It did this before PCI pass through, USB, etc.. it's never NOT done it.
