@deeplow: Thanks for those updated links. I followed the instructions, which worked up until steps 8-10 in Installing Qubes guest tools in Windows 10
After installing the tools, shutting down, and running:
dom0] qvm-features windows gui 1
I can no longer get the windows vm to appear. It says it is running, but not gui. So i run:
dom0] qvm-start-gui windows
This returns:
windows: Starting GUI (stubdomain)
Connecting to VM's GUI agent: .connected
windows: Starting GUI
windows: Sending monitor layout
windows: Failed to send monitor layout: b'connect: No such file or directory\n'
and then the windows gui popped up (this took a few tries of qvm-killing the Qube and redoing the above).
So now i’m in windows, but if i try to qvm-copy to it, i get “Request refused” and copy paste from another Qube similarly does not work.
I run the qubes windows tool installer, which confirms it is already installed. So i click “repair” and then reboot. This time the GUI comes up no problem. But still no qubes tools functionality to move data between qubes.
I used to be able to get a fully functional Windows Qube with this defunct tool: GitHub - elliotkillick/qvm-create-windows-qube: Spin up new Windows qubes quickly, effortlessly and securely
Not sure how these instructions differ or what changed.
