Windows 10 Installation won't boot with OVMF

[silverensign]

I can't seem to get the windows 10 isntall ISO to boot when using OVMF. Works fine with SeaBIOS but not OVMF.

I get a message that says "Windows failed to start" "File: \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD" "Status:0xc000000d"

So then I tried making a GPT & MBR UEFI bootable usb drive with rufus and then passing that to the guest. This time the blue windows logo comes up but it always eventually ends up on the advanced startup screen and it tells me that windows failed to boot.

Do I need to update OVMF? Or Proxmox? Something else?

I am running proxmox 4.2.2 at the moment.

Hi,

in the current version it works.
pve 4.3.1

I updated and I am still experiencing the same issues.

This seems to be a windows issue because I can install Ubuntu just fine. From what I have googled people are saying it is either a CSM compatibility that is missing or secure boot is getting in the way. Of course all those reports are for bare hardware, not a virtualized environment so I don't know if that can be taken as 1 for 1.

Any input?

works for me (win10 and also other, like Ubuntu 16.04).

post your VM config

> qm config VMID

and your version:

> pveversion -v

I am also downloading a fresh Windows 10 ISO to see if that fixes it (Read somewhere that this fixed another persons issue with OVMF on Fedora)

Here is my config file

Update: I downloaded a brand new ISO using Microsoft's installation media tool and now it works. Must of been an incompatibility with my older ISO on microsoft's end.
