I migrated a VM from VMware to Proxmox and noticed that the Virtio-ISO Id like to connect to my Windows-VM is not showing up, unless I do a couple of restarts of the VM. Any way to fix this?

Code:
vm-105-disk-0     200 GiB 200 GiB
root@pve-01:~# qm config 105
bios: ovmf
boot: order=sata0
cores: 4
ide2: cephfs:iso/virtio-win-0.1.185.iso,media=cdrom,size=402812K
memory: 16384
name: JS-Veeam-95
sata0: vm_hdd:vm-105-disk-0
smbios1: uuid=c4310d6a-7776-4811-8c9e-26609be5e922
vmgenid: 28f9ab6a-e74e-4f5a-a6ce-9f801bd41a2e

Yes I tried that now, it does not show up. I will reboot a few times and I guess then it will show up. Yep after 3 threeboots iso is there ...

is it possibly an issue with your cephfs? can you try storing the iso image on a different storage and see if it changes anything?
