Description
My apologies if this has come up before; I wasn't able to find anything matching it by searching. Any help would be appreciated.
I've tried installing emulated x86_64 Windows 11, 10, and 7 (with default settings supplied) on my M1 Mac, and it always hangs up on UEFI before it can even boot. This isn't the same as #6772, because it doesn't loop (and there is in fact a debug log). Using older installers from CrystalFetch — as mentioned in that issue — doesn't seem to fix it either.
I don't know much about how all this works, but just to flip a switch, I tried turning off the UEFI Boot QEMU tweak. That resulted in this:
**Configuration**
* UTM Version: 4.7.4 (was also happening previously with 4.4.5; just came back to it today and updated to see if that would fix it)
* macOS Version: 14.7.6
* Mac Chip (Intel, M1, ...): M1
