The virtual machine is hanging during boot/reboot because it is encountering an EFI SMM deadlock. The hang means that the virtual machine is stuck in EFI firmware and will not proceed to boot the Windows guest OS, hence vmss2core is unable to interpret the vmss/vmem because Windows is not yet loaded. That is what meant by "user error".
