What Do I Do If I Enabled Automatic Configuration During Image Registration for an ECS Created from a Windows Image and Now It Won't Start?

Cause

This may be caused by an issue with offline VirtIO driver injection.

Solution

When you inject VirtIO drivers into the image for a Windows ECS, note that:

  • If the boot mode in the image file is UEFI, the VirtIO drivers cannot be injected offline.
  • Disable Group Policy Object (GPO) because some policies may cause offline VirtIO driver injection to fail.
  • Stop any installed antivirus software. They may cause offline VirtIO driver injection to fail.

To install VirtIO drivers, see Optimizing a Windows Private Image.
