I am using Windows10 Home and below is the command I use to run the guest. I have suspected if this is caused by random entropy but even with mouse moving it gives same random locks and it continues to work as soon as I press a key so maybe its not about entropy at all, startwinguest.bat: qemu-system-x86_64 ^ -name "win" ^ -machine type=q35,accel=whpx ^ -cpu EPYC,hv_relaxed,hv_time,topoext ^ -nodefaults ^ -usb ^ -rtc base=localtime,driftfix=slew ^ -smp 6,sockets=1,cores=3,threads=2 ^ -m 8192 -mem-prealloc ^ -soundhw hda ^ -usbdevice tablet ^ -netdev user,id=mynet0,hostfwd=tcp::3390-:3389 -device virtio-net,netdev=mynet0 ^ -vga std ^ -display gtk ^ -boot d ^ -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0 ^ -drive "file=%~dp0win10.qcow2,if=none,format=qcow2,discard=unmap,aio=threads,cache=writethrough,id=someid" ^ -device scsi-hd,drive=someid,bus=scsi0.0 ^ -drive "file=D:\Setups\OS\Windows\en_windows_server_2019_updated_dec_2020_x64_dvd_36e0f791.iso,media=cdrom,index=1" ^ -drive "file=%~dp0virtio-win-0.1.185.iso,media=cdrom,index=2" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1916775/+subscriptions
