I am downloading Windows 11 22H2, but I have heard that it may not work in QEMU, we'll see.
So far I cannot even boot it. I get "Press any key to boot from CD" prompt and nothing happens after I press it, I just get black screen with EFI logo.
Something interesting seems to have happened between (possibly) version 7.1.0-12 and 7.1.0-16.1; I'm not sure when it starting [mis]behaving this way or if the issues comes from something libvirt related, but I was able to install Win11 via QEMU on Mar 14th, but another attempt sometime around mid-April hangs up same as you describe. Existing Win11 install is fine. Happens on an Intel system and a Ryzen system in the exact same way.
I tried it in Ubuntu 22.04 with both default qemu (6.2) and self-compiled (7.2) and both behave identically. Reports about issues with booting/running Win11 22H2 under KVM date back to October/September '22. On fedora list there was libvirt domain configuration which was claimed "to allow ISO to boot"; to the extent I could translate it to the raw QEMU (I do not use libvirt) it did not. I doubt exact PCI setup is significant here. So far I was not able to find commonality between different reports.

Even weirder aspect is I have an older Win11 ISO file and that one boots fine;
There are mixed reports about failure to boot 22H2 after update.
same virtual hardware / setup but with that older ISO - works fine.
