Windows 11 guest doesn't shutdown but reboots

This started to happen again with this new VM that I have. I figured out that this was happening because I added it to the HA group and it was set to started. So when it would see it shut down, HA services in Proxmox would restart it. The best thing to do here is to set it to either Ignored or just not add it to the HA configuration.

Ah! Very nice! That would be really cool if that was added and it would solve a lot of these issues people are seeing. Took me a while to figure out why it was restarting like that.

This is expected, see post above. Install the guest agent and shut down from PVE otherwise PVE doesn't know it's supposed to be off.

Yup - take a look at the bugzilla link above - looks like they're suggesting a HA state so that it will know when its shut off from within the OS which will be nice.
