Windows VMs randomly stop

I'm trying to play around with Active Directory and all that stuff but my windows VMs (and only my windows VMs) randomly stop, there's nothing in dmesg and there's plenty of RAM for the VMs. The VMs aren't blue screening.

I tried installing Windows 10 Pro in a VM and after installing the VirtIO driver for the disk controller and choosing the disk and clicking Install, the VM stopped. I restarted the installation, installing the driver, clearing the partitions, etc but the VM stopped again during the post-install setup.

Anyone got any ideas as to what is the problem?

I have a similar problem. three vm with wind2019 randomly shut down. What's the emergency for them. there is memory, 170/255 gb free.
What is your fs? zfs/lvm?
