KB5012170 fails to install on Win11 host
- Thread starter C.G.B. Spender
- Start date
Since PVE 7.2-11 the procedure doesn't work anymore: if I substitute the EFI disk, Windows VM do not boot anymore, with "Guest has not initialized the display (yet)" on console. Old UEFI disk does not permit to install Windows updates.
Does anybody know a solution?
Thank you @fireon, but there was no memory hotplug.
Hotplug was activated just for Network, Disk and USB. I got the same issue on many servers, and no solution at the moment.

vmstate: local-zfs:vm-110-state-Pre_AggI'm really sorry and beg your and forum pardon, I should have been blind for a while (or erroneously have been looking to other VM). Sure: that VM has hotplug memory !!!!
Sorry again, and thank you!
Disabled Memory Hotplug and I was able to change the UEFI disk, enabling enrolled keys- everything worked like a sharm.
Thank you very much @fireon !

We just saw this issue with Windows Server 2022 and the most recent version of PVE (updated to be sure).
The VM would not boot with the memory hotplug enabled. It would get to "guest has not initialized the display (yet)" and hang.
Disabling the memory hot plug and it booted.
During testing, we found it would boot with the memory hotplug enabled on a different node.
The difference between the nodes was the CPU. It would not boot on the Westmere CPU but would boot on the Sandy Bridge node with memory hotplug enabled.
