    Windows VM Some Hardware Greyed Out

    Hello everyone, I've ran onto this issue where I cannot seem to add any more USB devices to my VM, nor EFI Disks nor TPM states as the UI has them greyed out. Has anyone run onto this issue and can provide some input on how to address it? I'm on Proxmox 8.0.4 Thanks in advance!
