Hello all,

a running Win10 VM has been changed from IDE to VirtIO by adding an VirtIO-Harddisk, installing the VirtIO driver and detaching the hard disks again. Now I encounter a bluescreen (BSOD) when I start the VM again, it restarts and then it works. So only the second attempt to start the VM fails with a bluescreen. Besides of that, the VM works when it started.

VM config:

Linux pve 5.4.128-1-pve #1 SMP PVE 5.4.128-1 (Wed, 21 Jul 2021 18:32:02 +0200) x86_64

What could be the problem there?

Seems like I resolved the problem by myself. In the Windows eventviewer one log was described:

Kernel Power ID 41: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first.[..]
For me it seemed like during a normal shutdown of the VM guest, the host forces the VM to shutdown - leading to a BSOD just the first time after powering it on again. After installing the qemu agent, the BSOD disappeared. https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Qemu-guest-agent

Problem seems to be solved then.
