Hey everyone! Hoping someone came across this before. Googling didn't help much. I might not be thinking correctly here.....

So I run EAXI 7 hosts in my home lab, and have been running into new VM builds corrupting. Windows 10 and windows server 2022 constantly has errors after first installation. It's always the same issues, BSOD or failed updates. The usual attempts at repairing the windows image fails. I'm completely out of ideas. I have another 13 windows 2022 servers running happily without issues. They update completely fine!

I thought maybe the ISOs were corrupted, so i downloaded new ones of each, no dice.

Anyone running into the same issues? This is happening on all of my 2 hosts running the same ESXI version. Photo of my lab for fun

Do you have EVC mode on for your cluster? Your hosts look like they could be pretty different. Is it possible your VM boots up or migrates to the other host with a much different CPU?

No ability for it to migrate. No vsphere. Just two independent hosts. Although I can manually migrate the VMs by unregistering and reregistering on the other host.
