Hello,

I have a single node which was running a couple of VM's without any issues for last 6 months (version (5.1.XX)). Today I've updated the node to the latest version - 5.4 (using apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade) and since then I cannot get any of my Windows VMs to start. Though linux based VMs - Ubuntu - start without issues.
The windows VMs have GPU and USB passthrough set.

When I run qm start <VMID>, the process hangs indefinitely and if I query the VM status, it always reports stopped. Can someone help me identifying the cause of this issue? Thanks!

Here is my pveversion -v output:
