Description

When trying to get windows to work on my Synology it just boots forever. I have tried all the solutions found in the existing issues but nothing helped. I have tried to set HV to N and so on but it never boots. I have also tried to set the Boot mode but still nothing. It is just rotating forever. one time for over 6 hours until i shut down the Synology.

Are you running with or without KVM? Its hard to tell without your compose file.

This endlessly spinning circle happens for some people if they dont use KVM. I havent had the motivation to try to find the reason, because this container is not really useable (too slow) without KVM anyway, so it doesnt seem worth the effort.

So you should fix the main issue first: that you dont have KVM. If you dont have the /dev/kvm device then you can fix that by installing the Virtual Machine Manager package from the Synology Package Center. After it is installed, you will have KVM enabled.

If you are using special network configurations that make it impossible to use the Virtual Machine Manager, use the Task Scheduler to execute the following code:

#! /bin/bash

modprobe kvm
modprobe kvm_intel
modprobe kvm_amd
modprobe tun 
Task Settings:
User:  root
Event:  Boot-up
