Win Srv 2022 Guest does not properly shut down during backup.

qemu-server is another package, check installed version with:
Code: 
dpkg -l qemu-server

EDIT:
note, when update proxmox specific packages may not have the right deps setted (as I saw in tests of some years ago), so in major of case is better to do "apt full-upgrade"/"apt-get dist-upgrade" to decrease the risks

upgrade or downgrade of single package is better do only with some cases is really needed (e.s. workaround or debug) and taking a look in git of related packages

As wrote qemu-server >= 8.3.4 is needed for shutdown fix patch. Anyway seems you need to use qemu guest agent also for the backup part so is better try to fix it if possible.
What version of virtio drivers have installed? (full install include also qemu guest agent service), to avoid virtio-scsi driver important issue (with version > 0.1.208 and < 0.1.266) should be version 0.1.266.
 
I am on version 0.1.266. I upgraded over the prior version. Should I uninstall and reinstall again?

I called up Device manager and it lists one device ad not having the driver. The Hardware ID is : PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1057&SUBSYS_11001AF4&REV_01.

I could not find a driver on the ISO.

Finally can you tell me how to go about upgrading the qemu-server to a version >= 8.3.4.

Thanks

I posted there - It seems that the issue is tied to the VirtIO Viomem Driver but there doesn't seem to be one for Windows Server 2022. Windows returns that no driver was found.
