Cannot install guest OSes

I am new to Proxmox (just installed it about an hour ago), but I cannot get a VM to work. The issue I am having is that when I create a VM and mount an ISO, something always goes wrong when I try to install the OS on the VM. I have tried installing Windows, Kali, and Ubuntu, and every time there is an issue. With Kali, the failing step is: Select and install software, and on Windows I get all kinds of different error messages (eg. PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, CACHE MANAGER, 0x8007025D) but they always occur on the step "Getting files ready for installation." I have tried a couple different busses for the hard drive and ISO image, but I cannot seem to fix it. I have not changed any of the default Proxmox configuration apart from enabling Intel IOMMU.

Here is the config for my Windows 11 VM (I did install VirtIO drivers):
