Describe the issue
Windows VMs sometimes freeze randomly. For example: My Windows 10 x64 VM freezed when I was trying to render a webpage in Edge. (This was expected cause QEMU is slow) And my Windows 11 VM freezed when I was trying to use a Windows CE emulator, and messed with the settings a bit Option+command (attach cursor to VM) shows that the entire VM is frozen INCLUDING the cursor. Trying to force reboot/ force shutdown results in a longer loading sequence than usual and shows an error: Timed out waiting for RPC The app then freezes and hangs at the beachball. Force quitting and reopening fixes this.

Configuration

  • UTM Version: 4.2.5 (B1)
  • macOS Version: Ventura 13.4
  • Mac Chip (Intel, M1, ...): M1

Crash log
There is no crash log, just hangs at the beachball

Similar issue here; However, I am more concerned with the VM freezing, rather than the UTM application crashing.

  1. Virtual Machine (Windows 11 Enterprise) freezes
  2. UTM displays Error: Timed out waiting for RPC
  3. UTM Application Crashes

I am thinking this is a glitch with either the WebDAV or Disk Image emulation.

I have the same issue. It often ends in "Timed out waiting for RPC". To me, I have to restart the UTM application before starting the VM again. I am running Kali Linux on a M1 Macbook Pro.

The issue appears directly related to some sort of bug/issue with the VM accessing the same (overlapping) real local file system directory structure as another VM or application, (freezing after a short period).

When I avoid either reading or writing files outside the VM, then the VM appears to remain stable indefinitely.

Another two annoyances I have encountered are:

  1. The keyboard occasionally refusing to accept specific letters — fixed by either restarting or forcing focus towards & away & back to the VM.
  2. An inability to “suspend” the VM — fixed by enabling hibernation, then powering off the VM; this allows resuming most previous activities.

I'm having the same issue with latest release.

This issue persists also with the beta release 4.7.0

Still with this issue. The VM freezes periodically and when I try to shutdown it show the error message.

Device: Mac Studio M3 Ultra
