Install guest agent (that is among other things there for communication VM<->host) in pfsense, then reboot pfsense and check again. In opnsense it is available as clickable plugin, pfsense should be similar.

Thank you but already installed !

Your screenshot says "no guest agent configured".
Then something is not right.

Do you pass thru any PCI devices? All memory must be pinned in that case.
