Hello I’ve created a windows VM but not getting any display output from it
After starting the VM my screen goes black nothing happens but I’ve noticed my HDD LED indicator is blinking, that means windows is loading. Then I tried pressing ALT+F4 & it shut down perfectly fine & goes back to Manjaro login screen.

I’m trying this for almost one month. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, I’ll provide any log outputs if you ask. Please guys just help me from this loophole. Thank you.

Specifications:
intel core i3-9100F
MSI H310M PRO VDH PLUS
16GB RAM
NVIDIA GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6

Hello,

As many out there, also in this forum, you try to have passthrough to VM and have a display on the host in the same time with ONE GPU. That is not possible. See this PCI passthrough via OVMF - ArchWiki

There is a bug in the OVMF package that produces a black screen and prevents proper installation. Check if you have version 201111-4 - if yes, downgrade.

It has been fixed in Arch Linux with version 201111-5.
