You have to be more specific about the problem and any error messages you're getting. Also, we have no idea what your setup is.

Hi varcak. Unfortunately it’s still a little difficult to help with the information provided.

Send us some screenshots of your VM, its devices etc.

Have you tried VNC via web? Switch that on and send us a screenshot

How much RAM have you allocated to the VM?

I have noticed that my Win10 VM will not start after the FreeNAS box has been running a while (and RAM is allocated for other tasks... I'm making an assumption here). It starts OK right after a reboot of FreeNAS, but when it's running, I get warnings from the system about low amounts of available memory (I have notifications set on netdata).

It's not my primary FreeNAS, so it only has 32GB of RAM and I assign 8GB to the VM (for info).

I allocated 4gb for my windows

I did not try to restart it I will restart my system tonight and see what happens
