Problem when booting up a Windows 11 VM

[Sombra-js]

I’m having trouble booting up a Windows 11 VM. I’ve already tried using Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, and 24.04 as the host operating system, but I keep running into the same issue. Even when I create any other VM using an ISO instead of a template, the installation completes normally — but after rebooting, it just asks to install again, repeating the same process endlessly.

@Sombra-js You need to make sure that you have detach the ISO after the installation complete.

Could you please clarify which ISO I should detach after completing the installation?
Should I simply unmount it from the virtual CD-ROM drive, or do I need to delete it from the storage as well?

@Sombra-js

You dont need to delete it from storage.

After detaching the ISO…

Just reboot your VM. This happens because you booted it from an ISO.

Thank you very much, I managed to boot up the VM successfully
