Hi, I just wanted to share my experience with bhyve + windows, maybe someone has had the same experience or wants to instruct me to further debug this, also a comment on why this is not working is welcome ;-)
While I run a Windows 10 VM in bhyve successfully on my Ryzen 7 3700X, I tried to install Windows 10 on my oldish Intel i7-2600K. I used vm-bhyve the same way I did on my Ryzen. During installation, the VM crashed a few times, but starting it again recovered everything. I could log in, but as soon as I try to update Windows it starts downloading the updates, after a few minutes the CPU (tried with single core and multi core; on the host: HT is disabled) is at 100%, the mouse does not move (via VNC), and RDP connections to the VM just stall. No matter what I try do, after a few minutes the VM starts this behaviour. I tried various disk configurations (nvme, ahci-hd, and virtio-blk - virtio-blk does work with drivers version 0.1.185, but not with 0.1.190). I have also tried different installation isos - Win10_1909 and the current Win10_20H2_v2. The host is 12.2-RELEASE-p6. Ideas, comments etc. appreciated, thanks!
