Windows 11 guest doesn't shutdown but reboots

[Colin 't Hart]

Windows 11 24H2 guest on Proxmox 8.2.7
On shutdown it goes through the whole shutdown process but then the UEFI just boots it again...

Under VirtualBox 7.1.4 on macOS 15.0.1 Windows 11 23H2 shuts down as expected.

Where should I start looking?

I'm just trying to install w11-24h2 on prox 827 ... Have you used kvm-virtio drivers ? ... which version ?

thank you

status update : !'ve successfully installed w11 24H2 + virtio-win-0.1.262.iso (disk + net + vga-spice) ... VM shuts down as expected!

I have the same issue with proxmox 8.3.0

If you have HA configured for that VM, then you need to shutdown via PVE. If you shut it down from within the OS, then the PVE HA will restart it.

My Windows11 VM updated itself to 24H2 today and after that I can't shut it down, it will always restart instead. I did install virtio-win-0.1.262 but no change. How can I fix this?

No HA configured btw.

No HA. Just a plain vanilla VM.

Tell me and we'll both know. In some ways it's good to know I'm not the only one.
