Dave,
you got working Windows guest with virtio-blk?
I thought it was still unstable. I've tested virtio storage (on bhyve) +
virtio storage drivers on several windows guest ~ 2 months ago and they
were crashing all the time.
So I use ahci-hd with every windows guest we run (from 7 to Win Server
2012).

Hello,
I have a server 2016 virtual machine which I only created for testing
and don't use much. Booting it up recently I've found that it locks up
consistently within a few minutes of booting. What can I do to try and
figure out what's causing the problem?
Host was recently updated to 11.2

Hi Matt,
try using virtio for nic & storage to start with. I've used specifically these
drivers
https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.96/virtio-win-0.1.96.iso
and had trouble with both later and earlier drivers, YMMV, and I sadly forget
where I got this advice.
Also, it’s possible to install virtio drivers directly from the CD without pointy-clicky
stupidness. Just add the CD to your bhyve command, in a later "PCI slot" than
the existing “hard disk”, as the lowest numbered slot is what’s used to boot from AFAICT.
- open an elevated command prompt
- run for /d %i in (d:\*) do @pnputil -a %i\w7\amd64\*.inf (you may need a
different driver than w7 here)
- some of those will fail but just carry on
- reboot FTW
