Hi, I am running the latest version of proxmox and a windows 11vm in this proxmox cluster. After few minutes of inactivity, windows 11 vm switches to Paused state and I have to stop and start it to get it to work again. I’d like for this to not happen. it should always be immediately accessible.

Windows 11 vm config looks like this,

agent: 1,fstrim_cloned_disks=1
bios: ovmf
boot: order=sata0;net0
cores: 12
cpu: host
efidisk0: local-lvm:vm-130-disk-0,efitype=4m,format=raw,pre-enrolled-keys=1,size=528K
machine: pc-q35-8.1
memory: 16384

net0: virtio=62:71:40:56:24:D5,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1,tag=10

vmgenid: 0173ec51-5086-40f8-93df-faa195cdd54f

What do I need to do to fix this?
 
I was seeing something similar with my W11 guests - turned out to be the power settings putting the guest to sleep after 15 minutes. Changed them to never sleep and had no issues since.

Thank you @mrgcms!

I applied your suggestion, waited for a while and now every thing is good! it doesn't go back to the pause state any more and I can access it any time.
