Hello.
I have Proxmox 7.1-7 and show me this message when I start the VM with W2022 Server.

This is my config file:

agent: 1,fstrim_cloned_disks=1
bios: ovmf
boot: order=scsi0;net0
cores: 6
cpu: host
efidisk0: lvm-cnas1:vm-111-disk-1,efitype=4m,pre-enrolled-keys=1,size=528K

I have other VM with this config and it's running fine:

Hi,

I have Proxmox 7.1-7
This is a very old version and the 7.x series will generally be EOL with end of next month. Please consider upgrading!

In the configs I do not see anything obvious at first sight.
I'd suggest upgrading to at least 7.4 to see if it fixes itself, since - obviously - a lot of bug fixes are happening with each version update.
You can also try setting the display to something other then virtio, Standard VGA should be a safe choice normally.

Are there any error messages or the like in either the task log or the system journal (journalctl -b)?

You're right. Although we are a small company, I will speak with my manager to assess basic support, at least. :)

In reference to the issue, I tried changing the display settings, but it didn't work.

I solved the issue by restoring the last backup to a new VM and all works file now.

Thank you for your help!!

Best Regards.
