I’m having trouble getting Windows 11 started on Virt-Manager
Unable to complete install: 'internal error: Could not run '/usr/bin/swtpm_setup'. exitstatus: 1; Check error log '/var/log/swtpm/libvirt/qemu/Windows-swtpm.log' for details.'

Please tell me what I’m doing wrong.
I’m currently on Kubuntu 21.10.
Also, /var/log/swtpm/libvirt/qemu/Windows-swtpm.log doesn’t exist.
Update 1: Decided to compile swtpm from GitHub. Now, Windows 11 won’t start.
Update 2: my BIOS update disabled virtualization. Windows finally started to boot.
