Description

On Windows 11 except in rare cases (pre-Windows Server 2003 SP2, 32-bit guests), it's not a good idea in general to specify kernel-irqchip=off . It was a workaround for old issues fixed in QEMU 11.0 on Windows 11 - but that are still present on a Windows 10 host, hence the switch to the default being kernel-irqchip=off for Windows 10 in the new series.

From https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/work_items/2403#note_3222233440

Currently Lima sets this to off for whpx in

args = appendArgsIfNoConflict(args, "-machine", "q35,accel="+accel+",kernel-irqchip=off")
