Windows Server 2025 CPU suddenly at 100%

Huh? Didn't you go with a workaround because it wouldn't fix the problem?

Code:
https://github.com/proxmox/qemu-server/commit/b69480d6110c005b9eb936c55c0438607d10975b

Well, even if this did fix 100% of the issues, enabling VBS would make the Start button on Windows unresponsive—it'd be completely useless. Shouldn't Proxmox just officially recommend disabling VBS at this point?

I don't think the issue that needs to be fixed is the one where it reaches 100%; rather, I think it's any problem that occurs when MBEC is used after VBS is enabled.

If anything, things are even worse now than they were on April 23, right?

Code:

It wasn't exactly ideal, but it was a lot better than it is now.

A fix available now: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap#9.2-known-issues (Point 3) "On Intel hosts, Windows 11/2022/2025 VMs with host CPU type and VBS enabled may intermittently freeze"
This isn't a conversation. (Though maybe you just don't want to talk to me.)
Enabling VBS doesn't cause CPU usage to reach 100%, but the Windows Start button stops responding, rendering it completely useless.

Is the Start menu a feature that isn't used in Windows?
