I upgraded my Promox 7 server to 8 but since doing this the console is blank on my windows 10 vm's. They are booted up and working but I can no longer view and use them via the console tab, ideas how to fix this?

Thanks

So I assume your GUI of Proxmox is working properly - but the console in the GUI for Windows 10 VM(s) is blank.

I don't know your Windows VM setup (maybe provide the output of qm config <VMID> ), but my hunch is your VirtIO drivers are out of date. This I believe is the latest version of the drivers.

Do you have another way of connecting to the VM, like RDP, SPICE etc. If you can connect to the VM & update the drivers.
