Maybe the issue is connected to HotPlug memory activated as @fireon suggested at https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/kb5012170-fails-to-install-on-win11-host.113561/page-2#post-502450
Disabling hotplug memory on Windows VM solved my similar issue.
As @thiagotgc asked, for Windows guest VMs is it sufficient to set balloon=0 on the host ?
This way on the VMs I don't see anymore the Virtio Ballon Driver in Device Manager, but the Balloon Service is still running.
Do I need to stop/disable the Balloon Service or furthermore uninstall it...
I'm really sorry and beg your and forum pardon, I should have been blind for a while (or erroneously have been looking to other VM). Sure: that VM has hotplug memory !!!!
Sorry again, and thank you!
Here it is:

Thank you @fireon, but there was no memory hotplug.
Hotplug was activated just for Network, Disk and USB. I got the same issue on many servers, and no solution at the moment.
Since PVE 7.2-11 the procedure doesn't work anymore: if I substitute the EFI disk, Windows VM do not boot anymore, with "Guest has not initialized the display (yet)" on console. Old UEFI disk does not permit to install Windows updates.
Does anybody know a solution?
Resolved the issue here on a Windows Server 2019: install of KB5012170 failed at 99%. Then I solved the problem this way:
Poweroff Windows server 2019 VM
Detach EFI disk
Add a new one EFI DISK with "Pre-Enrolled Keys"
Boot VM
Start Windows Update
Install pending update
The update installed...

As you suggested, I've tried the workaround:
vi /etc/kernel/cmdline
root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs kvm.tdp_mmu=N
proxmox-boot-tool refresh
reboot
cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/tdp_mmu
N
The installation completed at the first attempt with no issues!!!
