Windows 11 Boot loop after Migration from ESXI to Proxmox

[ddCorazon]

Hey, hope you're all doing well.

I started a migration process from ESXi to Proxmox, and everything was working fine until I tried migrating a Windows 11 VM.

I can't seem to get it to work. I successfully migrated several Windows Server VMs without any issues.

To give you some context, I'm using Veeam Backup Server for the migration (I backup the VM to a repository and then restore it on the Proxmox server). Everything went smoothly with the previous VMs I migrated.

However, I haven’t been able to get the two Windows 11 VMs to boot after migration.

These VMs had encryption enabled at the VMware storage level, along with a TPM. Initially, I thought the problem was caused by the encryption, so I disabled it, performed a full backup again, and restored the VM to Proxmox — but it still won't start. It looping on the bios

I tried setting the disk to SATA and then to IDE, but no luck.

It's looping on VM startup
bellow the screenshots


And then this

An then the first one in loop
For the environements
VMware ESXi, 7.0.3, 24585291
to Proxmox 8.4.1


Bellow the screenshot with Encryption enabled





And here after disabling encryption






And Bellow the VM configuration on promox





Do i miss something?
Thanks
