When install windows 10 can't uncheck “Import VHDX Image”

[zhaozhiming]

Describe the issue

I follow the Windows 10/11 install instructions to install windows 10. When I follow the step 5: Uncheck “Import VHDX Image” and you should see the text above change to “Boot ISO Image”. Press “Browse” and select the ISO you built in step 1., I found I can't uncheck the Import VHDX Image checkbox. So the installation process cannot continue. Please help. Thanks.

Configuration
UTM Version: 3.1.5(53)
OS Version: mac bigSur 11.4
Intel or Apple Silicon? Apple Silicon

Crash log
If the app crashed, you need a crash log. To get your crash log, open Console.app, go to Crash Reports, and find the latest entry for either QEMU, QEMUHelper, or qemu-*. Right click and choose Reveal in Finder. Attach the report here.

Debug log
For all issues, including crashes, you should attach a debug log. Open UTM, and open the settings for the VM you wish to launch. Near the top of the QEMU page is Debug Log. Turn it on and save the VM. After you experience the issue, open the VM settings again and select Export Log... and attach it here.

Upload VM
(Optional) If possible, upload the config.plist inside the .utm. If you do not have this, you can upload the entire .utm but note this contains your personal data. Since Github has an attachment size limit, you may want to upload to another service such as Google Drive. Link it here.

This will be fixed in v3.2.x but as a workaround you can select an empty file for the VHDX then open up the VM settings and delete the drive created from your empty file and create a new drive with 64GB and set it to "NVMe" as interface. Then you can save the VM, choose your ISO from the home screen, and boot the VM.

When I boot the VM, it stop in the boot interface. How do I continue?

You may need to reorder your drives so the removable CD drive is first (before your created NVMe)

[zhaozhiming]

I change the drives order and make the cd drive at the first, but when I start the VM, it still stop in the boot interface.
The ISO file is generated at the step1.

iso file:

when I go into the boot config system, I found the boot order is correct.

Can you post the name of your generated iso file?

Can you post the name of your generated iso file?

The file name is 21390.1_MULTI_X64_EN-US.ISO. The file size is 3.8G.

So you specified that you are on a Apple Silicon computer but you downloaded the x86_64 ISO. Please make sure you are downloading ARM64.

(For future reference, please refer to troubleshooting in https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/windows-10)

[zhaozhiming]

OK. Thanks. I will try the ARM64 ISO later

[zhaozhiming]

@osy It works! Thanks.

I hava the same problem, but using the ARM64...

Please use the workaround above #3760 (comment)

Actually that's what I did, i also tried created directly by the "custom VM", both ended up at this boot interface.
