BSOD in Windows 10/11 installation start

[matteorizzello]

Expected behaviour

I start the VM and install Windows

Actual behaviour

The VM starts with Numlock flickering on and off every frame, I press the Numlock key until it stops flickering and go into the Windows installation ISO, which immediately returns a BSOD (Both in Windows 10 and 11)

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Download Windows 10/11 Italian through Quickgui and try to install it

Nevermind, I clearly can't read. How embarassing.
For everyone else that can't read:

echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/module/kvm/parameters/ignore_msrs

      If you are unable to run macOS or Windows VMs then run the above 👆
      This will enable ignoring of unhandled MSRs until you reboot the host.
      You can make this change permenant by running: 'quickemu --ignore-msrs-always'

This is the solution
