[SOLVED] virt-manager unable to complete install

When I try to finish creation of a new VM from an iso, I get this error,

Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2018-02-17T21:17:04.150660Z qemu-system-x86_64: can't apply global Westmere-x86_64-cpu.spec-ctrl=on: Property '.spec-ctrl' not found'

Everything was working fine before but I can't wrap my head around this error message even after searching for a solution.

can't apply global Westmere-x86_64-cpu.spec-ctrl=on: Property '.spec-ctrl' not found'

Try setting "copy host CPU configuration".
