I'm experiencing an issue where the Spice console for Windows 7 (could be for others, too, such as Windows 10), where it is "unresponsive"

Meaning, when the VM has been running, and the Spice console disconnects after several hours of inactivity, when reopening the Spice console from Proxmox, you're faced with only a black screen with the words "Connecting to console..."

It remains this way indefinitely

The only way to get the Spice console to connect is to go to Proxmox > VM > Console, and click anywhere in the Console window to "wake it up"

I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue as well
 
your windows is in sleep mode, and the spice console is unable to wake it up.

workaround: disable sleep mode inside windows (power management)
