I updated the various qemu packages last weekend (2024.09.28). I have been running a Windows 10 guest quite successfully for several years but since the upgrade, Windows freezes after only a few minutes of use. It doesn't matter what I am doing: after a few minutes, the UI becomes totally unresponsive, clicking icons produces no response, I can't change windows or apps, and the cursor is a spinning wheel. I have waited as long as 10 minutes to see if anything comes back but there is nothing to do but close the instance by force. I don't know where to look for ideas: I can't find a log file for windows or qemu that gives any hints about what might be going on, and the Windows instance doesn't stay working long enough to look a the Windows Event manager. Can anyone suggest a way of debugging this? I tried upgrading the qemu to sid in the hope that something has been fixed since last weekend but that made no difference. I tried downgrading but couldn't manage the dependencies.
Thanks in advance for any help.
