Don't know why but my Windows VM I've used for almost a decade has shit the bed. I updated my packages for the first time in a few months a couple days ago and apparently my VM was so old QEMU told me the architecture was no longer going to be supported. I updated the config and got it to run again, but now I can't use it for longer than 10 minutes without it freezing. When I go to run it afterwards, it tells me that it can't access the ISO file.

Downgrading is tempting, but as I'm not seeing others report similar I feel I need to bite the bullet. Hard to troubleshoot since I must cold boot to "unlock" the image file every time.
