[SOLVED] unable to complete fresh installation of Windows 10 enterprise LTSC evaluation - VM crash and restart all the time

[Fra]

Hi,
I am not able to install Windows 10: once the installation process is over and the VM reboot, then it reset itself, so I always end up with this




I've choosed the Window 10 LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) version https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/ltsc/

I've done all tasks mentioned in https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_10_guest_best_practices of course: but even without custom drivers, the result is the same

I've tried on 2 difference hosts

pveversion
pve-manager/7.0-14+1/08975a4c (running kernel: 5.11.22-7-pve)

Btw: when I add drivers during installation (VirtIO drivers) I can load them but if I check on the "show only compatible drivers" those drivers disappear)

Any suggestion on how to troubleshoot?

I forgot to mention that the version I'm trying to install is the "enterprise" https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-10-enterprise (I edit the title now)
we need this version since we want to take advantage of the "multisession" https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/windows-10-multisession-faq

yes, the 'enterprise' version is not an ordinary one (we already installed ordinary Win 10 with no issue)

updates:

The non LTSC version of this Windows 10 enterprise works correctly! and that's good enough for us.

I still have no idea on the reason why the LTSC does not work.

pveversion pve-manager/7.0-14+1/08975a4c (running kernel: 5.11.22-7-pve)

If you have any issues, please make sure you run latest version.

=> update to current 7.1

Spotted the reason why I am having issue with this o.s.

As stated in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/windows-10-multisession-faq Windows enterprise is designed for Azure: we are not even allowed to install it outside Azure
