You also have to enable the "QEMU Guest Agent" in the VMs options.

How does the VM-config look like? (qm config YourVMID)
Did you follow: [1] and installed all drivers?

Proxmox 5.3

Suggesting to upgrade to PVE 7. First: [3] -> Afterwards: [4]

This was all that was necessary from the wiki steps, and fixed all my problems too, including memory usage not being reported accurately;

The easiest way to install missing drivers and services is to use the provided MSI installer. It is available on the driver CD since version "virtio-win-0.1.173-2".

Run the "virtio-win-gt-x64.msi" file located directly on the CD. If you do not plan to use SPICE you can deselect the "Qxl" and "Spice" features. Restart the VM after the installer is done.
