When I start up my Windows Server 2019 VM, it locks up and VNC Proxy, or RDP become inaccessible a few minutes after it is loaded.
I am trying to fiddle with settings to fix this. Somehow this may be related to Virtio drivers or PBS backup. It started going weird when I tried to backup to PBS Remotely and got a Qemu version error. I then tried to installe Qemu Guest Agent, and it didn't work I then disabled it.
Now my OS is locking up regularly no matter what settings I try.
I am on PVE version 6.2-10.
Please help.
Thank you.
 
Not sure exactly what was happening. I was about to backup everything and reinstally Proxmox OS again and reload my VMs. It seems like I had a couple USB drives that were loaded in the Windows Server 2019 VM that was causing a lockup of the VM. The whole OS on the VM became inaccessible shortly after or even upon boot.

Anyways I removed both USB drives, but kept the UPS USB connected.
They are running the server during the day at the office so I will trouble shoot it at night.
