So I recently upgraded to Proxmox 6.1 on the same hardware (r710) I was running 5.4 on, but ever since the update my Windows VM's WILL NOT start no matter if they were existing (from backup) or if I create new ones. The syslog isn't very helpful either. The error I keep getting is:

I've tried many different virtualized hardware configurations including the recommended one on the wiki and trying both no cache and write back disk configs, but nothing I do seems to fix the issue.
Here's the current config of the machine (I've also tried the recommended SCSI config but no dice):
onboot: 1
ostype: win10
scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
smbios1: uuid=3ec3b121-46bf-446b-b73a-8f1b7f746b9e

anyway I'm at my wits end with this. They worked great on 5.4 but now I can't use the existing VM's I had or create new ones without running into this error. I've googled my ass off but it doesn't seem that anyone else is having this issue. It's probably also worth mentioning that the 6.1 upgrade was a clean install not an actual upgrade in place. When I do try and start them the GUI shows that they are started and using 526mb of memory, but no cpu or anything else and no VNC and it will keep showing this pseudo running mode until I stop the machine. I've attached a picture of this weird started state, and as you can see in it I have a running qemu linux box as well as 2 lxc containers
