Strange Console window issue

[riverjs]

Hello,

I'm new to proxmox and just installed it, I'm trying to create a windows 11 VM via usb ISO and when I boot the iso I get a strip of the display in the same blue background as the windows install screen... I turned off/on local scaling and all it does it make it smaller.

Any advised would be appreciated!

Try opening console as a new window in your browser, so in GUI select a different menu for VM (for instance Summary), then press the Console button/menu on the right-hand side.

Still comes up the same way unfortunately

Show output for qm config {VMID} (replace {VMID} with actual ID number)

I don't see any ISO for the cdrom to install Windows. You seem to be trying to use USB instead? Maybe try by copying the ISO to /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ & then add to cdrom media for install.

One other thing; have you tried disenabling the "Autoresize Window" check-box?

I put the ISO in the local lvm storage and that seemed to take care of it, Thank you soo much for you help! @gfngfn256

Good you've got it working. Maybe tag mark the thread-title with [SOLVED], (upper right hand corner under title).
