So, I was trying to install windows 11 on my VM because my PC can't support it.

But what is this screen I got confronted to?

And when I press esc, it doesn't skip. Is there any way I can install Windows 11 through this shell?

Also, I type dir, it says unspecified directory. Same with tree. Typing cd makes it not an operatable program command or file. Also sending the shutdown signal doesn't work. So, we just have to unlock the CPU lever, to force shutdown.

    This issue occurs due to some problem in the initialization of the computer. It can be a BIOS configuration problem or even some kind of formatting of your storage (HDD or SSD).

    Since you are using a VM, it is probably a configuration issue.

    Why is nobody replying? Also, I have realized it was with boot settings. I’ve realized that it came up with the firmware. Changing the boot order just fixed it! Just make the EFI internal shell last. And make sure the disk is inserted properly to the machine. And it’s not the GRUB, no it’s UEFI!
