Windows Server 2016 VM: Booting after fresh installation takes too long

[pinguin]

Hi,

I tried to install a new VM with Windows Server 2016 as shown in https://www.proxmox.com/en/training/video-tutorials/item/install-windows-2016-server-on-proxmox-ve.

After having entered the password, I got stuck with the message "Please wait for the User Profile Service". Here is the config:

agent: 1
bootdisk: scsi0
cores: 2
ide0: images:iso/virtio-win-0.1.190.iso,media=cdrom,size=489986K
ide2: images:iso/Windows_Server_2016_Datacenter_EVAL_en-us_14393_refresh.ISO,media=cdrom
memory: 8192
name: win10-vm
net0: e1000=16:EA:68:3B:47:D3,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1
numa: 0
ostype: win10
scsi0: ehsb:vm-139-disk-0,cache=writeback,discard=on,size=50G
scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
smbios1: uuid=e572c62e-ff49-4970-8b80-007a19b9ab2f
sockets: 1
vmgenid: d82fcec9-6858-4c6d-9449-37e4a8c4eb4f

I used to select "VirtIO (paravirtualized)", but then I got stuck with "Finalizing your settings". After having changed to "Intel E1000", I could finally log in, but then I got stuck with "Please wait for the User Profile Service".

How can I fix it?

Change your drive type to ide instead of scsi. You may have to do another reinstall. Once you have completed first boot install all virito drivers. You can add a second temporary viritio HDD to make sure that it is recognized and then shutdown. Change all drives and ethernet to Virito once the drivers are in place.

Unfortunately it didn't fix my issue. The Youtube video in German fixed my issue:
