Are you sure your iso have virtio driver included?
In addition to copying the drivers to the Windows ISO, you have to actually load the disk driver. On the page that shows the disks, click "Load driver" and browse to the right folder (for example
D:\virtio\amd64\2k22). Once Windows is installed, you can mount the VirtIO ISO and run the setup to install all the other drivers (network, etc)You mean they didn't slipstream the drivers, they just copied driver folder to Windows setup dir and made an ISO? Well, that's a waste of time.
My logic is that if they slipstreamed the drivers, they wouldn't be asking this question since it'd be working fine. 😛
Also, if you search for "Virtio Windows ISO" in Google, some guides actually tell you to just create a virtio folder in the ISO rather than slipstreaming the drivers. For example, RamNode's instructions: https://clientarea.ramnode.com/knowledgebase/4192/How-to-Create-a-Custom-Windows-ISO-with-Virtio-Drivers.html
