I'm brand new to Proxmox and I have been trying to boot a VM from my NVME with my existing Windows 11 installation. I can boot from the NVMe controller just fine with the default CPU type. But when I changed the CPU type to host while trying to pass through my GPU, the VM froze on the boot screen.

My configuration:
agent: 1
bios: ovmf
boot: order=hostpci1;virtio0;ide0;ide2;net0
cores: 4
cpu: host,hidden=1,flags=+pcid,hv-vendor-id=proxmox
