As explained last time, you're bringing this up to the wrong
audience. This mailing list is about virt-manager, which uses libvirt
and QEMU behind the scenes, but you're using none of those pieces of
software. We are simply unable to help you.

The FreeBSD forum looks like a reasonable place to discuss the issue
and possibly track it down to bugs in bhyve. If the bugs turn out to
be on the guest driver side instead, then I think

  https://github.com/virtio-win/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/

would be your best bet.

Good luck!
