Libvirt not working anymore

I just updated the system and I'm getting this error when trying to run any virtual machine:

libvirtError: unable to set user and group to '65534:992' on '/dev/guest_images/office': Success

In journalctl:

libvirtd[326]: 2018-06-06 20:08:00.748+0000: 332: error : virSecurityDACSetOwnershipInternal:620 : virSecurityDACSetOwnershipInternal:620 : unable to set user and group to '65534:992' on '/dev/guest_images/office': Success

What could cause this? How do I fix it?

The virtual machines start when I set the LVMs' owner to group kvm manually. Are they supposed to be owned by kvm?

Re: Libvirt not working anymore

Im getting the same issues starting it up a vm manually with virsh command. Does the same thing if I use virt-manager.

@Strange ~> sudo virsh start win10
error: Failed to start domain win10
error: unable to set user and group to '99:78' on '/mnt/VM/win10.img': Success
