Issue: Win10 VM - Windows Boot Manager Error - Failed to Start

Hello I have been trying desperately to resolve the following error:

lxc_win10_error

I have followed the steps several times in this document:

and the issue always happens. When I use the same Win10 ISO file in Virtual Box I do not receive this error.

Here is the output from the ‘lxc info’ command"
