| ## Qubes starts, but no VMs load ## | ||
|
|
||
| This issue may occur if a dom0 update is interrupted halfway through and/or a hard power off is done without shutting down Qubes, which results in files getting corrupted. | ||
| In this case, the best fix is to reinstall Qubes and restore your files from a backup. |

This is nuclear option, in many cases there are less intrusive methods, depending on why exactly VMs do not start. Better option is to recommend trying to start some specific VM to see exact failure message and direct further steps based on that.

| If you face this error when starting a VM, it may be due to too little initial memory. | ||
| A solution is to increase the initial memory from 200MB to 400MB by navigating to VM settings » Advanced » Initial memory. |

Good idea is also to look into /var/log/xen/console/guest-VMNAME.log. There may be other reasons than too low memory - like VM kernel crash on startup, or some corrupted files.
