Hi,
I've got a Proxmox VE 9 Host and want to install a new Windows 10 VM. I've added the Windows.iso as CD and started the VM. It boots from the ISO but neither keyboard nor mouse are working. Similar problem on an imported windows 10 32 bit VM, the keyboard and mouse is not working.
What can I do to solve the problem?
I've tried to passthrough a USB keyboard with no success.
I tried to use SPICE with no success.
Even the "noVNC" virutal keys like Ctrl-shift-Del etc. do not work.

What else?

I actually found it myself. I changed the machine type from q35 to pc-i440fx which fixed the problem
