Windows 11 Pro 24H2 VM Random Freezes on XCP-NG 8.3
-
Update: I haven't experienced any freezes in the last 24 hours. Here are the actions I performed during that time:
- Installed Windows update KB5052093 (February 2025, 24H2 preview)
- Reinstalled Xen Tools
- Installed a Prometheus exporter
- Installed a Wazuh agent
At this point, I’m considering a few possibilities:
- Microsoft might have fixed the bug with the update (most likely?)
- The Xen Tools reinstallation resolved it ? (less likely)
- The Prometheus exporter and Wazuh agent generate enough micro-activity to prevent the machine from freezing or hibernating ?
- The new Microsoft "Energy Saver" technology was causing the issue and is now fixed?
- Or maybe the bug just hasn't had time to reappear yet?!
I'll keep monitoring and report back if anything changes. Has anyone else noticed improvements after the recent update? (RDP bugs are resolved!)
-
I spoke too quickly:
The problem finally came back, I've got at least an exact timestamp of the different phases, I'll see if I can find something, but it seems compromised.

I don't have a solution yet, so I'm going to do some more tests and install Windows 11:
23h2 --> if ok, ok otherwise :
22h2 --> if ok, ok otherwise :
21h2 --> if ok, ok otherwise :
WINDOWS 10 ! -
Hi,
Today, with Windows 11 23H2 fully updated, I have no issues at all. I'll check back this weekend if I encounter any problems. However, based on what I've seen in articles, from streamers, and on various forums, it really seems like the 24H2 version has a lot of problems—many are calling it the "Hell Version."
Let me know if you’d like any further tweaks!
If the XCP-NG or XOA teams need access, logs, or anything else for investigation, feel free to let me know!

@DevilDan I do know that Server 2025 has some issues has well. Probably best to avoid the version for now.
-
Yes thanks.... I Will avoid this ******* version
If there is march or April updates, i will test and check if its better
-
@dinhngtu The problem is back, I will check if i do something bad, i don't understand... Unlucky
-
@DevilDan Are you using the Load Balancer plugin to manage the load on your pool?
-
@Danp hi thanks, i don't think i use all on default param on xoa and xcp-ng
-
-
@DevilDan Which software was uninstalled if you don't mind telling?
-
@dinhngtu It's not the software, the problem is back again

@Danp @dinhngtu Hi, today I will try Win 10 22H2 latest. Maybe it is the vtpm and uefi secure boot the problem ? I have a freeze at boot on DVD when asking Product Key, i restart install, with VTPM and UEFI + secure boot, loike Win 11, we will see
Edit : CPU instable, after freeze, I try in BIOS mode with no VTPM
