HI all,

I'm attempting to install Windows 11 on my ProxMox host and when I try to boot from the iso file I get the error "The boot configuration data for your PC is missing or contains errors." I've tried multiple CPU types including host and they all give the same error. For kicks, I tried booting to a Server 2025 image and that boots up/installs fine, but if I switch it back to the Windows 11 image it gives this error again. I've seen some mentions of fixing it from the UEFI console but I'm not able to access this console. All system files are up to date as of about a week ago, including virtio 266. I'm attempting to update the system now but won't be able to reboot onto these updates until after 5pm.
