Getting Ready

I've gotten to the part where I start up the virtual machine and it gets stuck on the part saying getting ready. I'm not sure what's causing this. I chose to create a custom machine using a Windows11 arm64 vhdx file which i converted to vmdk. I tried to open it after it finished.

Did you change the VM type in the vmx file to arm-windows11-64 and did you enable the kernel debug network adapter? Both are noted in the unofficial tips and techniques document.
