Please refer to the release notes. The URL scheme has been removed due to security concerns (#6155). You are advised to use the utmctl tool or the Apple Script interface.

Run /Applications/UTM.app/Contents/MacOS/utmctl to see how to use the CLI. Then in Shortcuts use the Run Shell Script action to run your action.

Hi Osy, This works in shortcuts and in terminal, but not on startup login shortcut shell script: /Applications/UTM.app/Contents/MacOS/utmctl start HAOS Says that it can't find the VM location...Is there something better to use such as UUID and how do you find this for the VMs? Thanks, Daniel
