Do you use OVMF for your guest?  There is a known problem with that
with kernels newer than 4.1.  I have been experimenting with a patch
that is going into 4.4 and I at least got some different behavior where
the guest will get to the windows booting screen and eventually start
showing the spinner in slow motion, but never actually boots.  I
actually left it on all night last night and it just sat there with
vcpu0 pegged at 100% but never finished booting.

Patch I am referring to: 
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg123351.html

Maybe it will at least work for someone else?  Patch against my
PKGBUILD is attached.
