Hello,
I am a hobbyist using Proxmox on my main system. My desktop is a VM with GPU passthrough. I also have other VMs and one of them is a small (ram/disk) Windows 11 machine.
I need to transfer this machine to my laptop which runs Fedora and only has VirtManager. To that end, I followed these instructions and then imported the VM into Virt Manager.
The good news: it seems to have worked. I can boot the VM on my laptop now and it shows me the login screen.
The bad news: As soon as I login I get a black screen.
The thing is, this seems to be some graphics issue:
Or if you have any suggestions on fixing the VM on the Fedora side?

The thing is, this seems to be some graphics issue:
- The VM is running fine. If I press shutdown in Virt Manager it invokes an order shutdown.
- I entered Windows Repair (apparently you do this using "force off" !! twice !! during boot) and selected the good old SAFE MODE I was able to log in and see the Windows desktop (run the file manager, etc) so it seems like indeed this is a graphics issue!
- I wanted to uninstall the QEMU guest additions but was unable to (it says the installer is unavailable)
- I then restarted into Windows Repair and selected "Low resolution" mode, hoping that might fix but I logged into a blank screen again...
Or if you have any suggestions on fixing the VM on the Fedora side?
