I use Windows 10 Pro SuperLite Dark Apple 22H2.19045.2251.iso (download here Windows 10 Pro SuperLite Dark Apple v22H2 build 19045.2251
ISO file size is 3.8GB

Torrent Link: https://download.windowslite.net/LAmwZS
Link ISO (Sendcm): https://download.windowslite.net/lseW2M
ISO link (Uploadrar): https://download.windowslite.net/YDxMRYT)
Installed it on win10.vhdx with winntsetup and booted successfully with ventoy. Maybe you did not do it right, so when booting win10.vhdx it failed, right successfully install win10.vhdx on your real computer or virtual machine like qemu, vmware, virtualbox...then bootable with ventoy

@nguyen ha thai trong first off all, thank you for your interest.

For security and privacy reasons I don't prefer to use third party or not-open-source (more clearly: not-community-based) OS or apps.

I already created the vmdx file via qemu. I install Windows 2 times (maybe something from happened on installation). I also checked microsoft-windows-ISO's SHA1 in any case.

I also tried this: I created another new virtual-machine via virt-manager's GUI. I started/booted this new virtual-machine with my old vmdx file. And it started without any error. But the same vmdx file is not opening via Ventoy.

Ventoy doesn't support booting windows.vmdk, so you need to use vdmk to vhdx conversion utility (eg qemu here https://cloudbase.it/qemu-img-windows/) or install windows 10 to vhdx and boot successfully your win10.vhdx with vmware ; virtualbox, then boot with ventoy.

I'm sorry. It's my fault. I have type wrong my last message. I have type: "vmdx" which is wrong. I directly created and I use only vhdx (which is also officially supported by qemu).




I also tried below things with combinations:

- UEFI and MBR created virtual-machine
- MBR (legacy support) enabled and disabled on physical laptop
- I also found and old version of Windows 10 as vhdx.

None of them worked Sad




If is there any way to see the debug log or something I can share it here.

(07-28-2020, 02:55 PM)vishalvodro I have Successfully been able to get Windows 10 VHD to Run from Ventoy, This is How I did it.First this is  my O/S  Windows 10 Pro .And I have used a USB 3 Portable SSD for Ventoy And another one for WinToUsb, although you could use any external portable HDD OR Flash Drive.Ventoy was installed and then Formated to NTFS and Create a Ventoy Partition.Then Copied a vhd bootimage to \Ventoy.From Windows I Used WinToUsb and Created the VHD From the Currently Installed O/S ( Windows 10 Pro ).Made that a Fixed Size 50gb and as a VHD.When that was finished I simply Rebooted with that Usb SSD of Windows.Then let it update Drivers etc and Reboot.Check again for any drivers etc and reboot.When Windows Update Says You\re up to date, Then just do normal settings like in control panel , Network Sharing , check programs and features etc.Installed CCleaner and Tidy up the system.Shut Down the Computer and Reboot to your Normal Windows.Locate the VHD File on the SSD and Copy it to The Ventoy Folder on other ( Ventoy ) SSD.Reboot from the Ventoy SSD and Run the Windows.vhd from there.It Works for me , like a charm.

===============================

Today I've tested successfully booting WIN-10_LITE.VHD from VENTOY.

Here's what I did:
1.Install Windows-10 (I tried with Lite Version) using Virtual Box on VHD (Dynamic Disk).
2.Put grubfm_multiarch.iso in VENTOY.
Optional : If you have enough space in your VENTOY Disk, then Copy VHD file else you can locate from VENTOY to your Internal HDD
3.Boot Ventoy.
4.Run grubfm_multiarch.iso
5.Locate the VHD & Boot from it.

P.S. As off now VHD Boot is possible only through grubfm_multiarch.iso, if the Developer of VENTOY could implement this feature then it would be another BANG for us...

The solution is fixed. I mean there are rules:

- should be use vhd or vhdx
- ventoy part should be ntfs
- etc

I read your whole and I check what I did. They are same. The only difference are:
- I did not use USB 3 (mine is UBS 2).
- I did not use VirtualBox. I used virt-manager with KVM.

You try how Sparks79 did and use rufus (https://rufus.ie/en/) to burn the windows drive to a vhd file and see if it works.

I did not see the trick here Sad Do you suggest me to install Windows-10 to QEMU via USB drive?

QEMU & virt-manager supports officially directly "Windows.ISO". Here is the screenshots:

You should install windows directly on your real machine, because the first time you run it, windows scans the device and loads the driver, in short, installs windows on a real machine and after the configuration is complete, booting directly is ok, then create a vhd file from the drive. The hard drive contains the windows operating system, then ventoy will load and boot win.vhd(x) successfully.
