I've found that selecting "restart" on a particular Windows 10 VM from Proxmox UI will freeze and restart the whole system. To start with I thought I selected the wrong thing, and restarted the node. However, I've found this is reproducible.
The only different log I get from a normal VM restart is this:
And then the whole system hangs/restart.
What's super odd is that I cloned the VM, and tried the same with that, and it works fine! I've repeated this many times with both the original and the clone, and get the same behaviour every time.
Now I suppose I can just keep the clone and delete the old one, but it seems like a very strange issue to me and would preferably like to understand what's happening
The only thing I did notice that if I didn't pass through the USB controller, the issue didn't happen (but as I say, this wasn't a problem on the clone). The very same controller can be passed into another Windows VM (obviously at a different time) and there's no resetting issue.
Also - restarting or resetting from within the Windows VM guest has no issue either.
