Hello,

did you use the "bios='ovmf'" option in the xl.cfg file of your Debian 
Xen guest?
  By default, even if OVMF is installed/present on your OS host, Xen 
uses Seabios, not OVMF (so legacy Bios instead of true UEFI).

This could explain why Microsoft Windows runs without problem as your 
Xen guest: Win10 can run either on UEFI or a Legacy Bios.
