Where can I tweak that setting? I can’t do a thing from windows itself, it gives me only some predefined resolutions… I need something custom. I tried going to adapter settings and some third party tool called CRU and it kinda did nothing.

## Progress report from Qubes developer @omeg
Alright, since I (@omeg) have b… een working on this for a while now and finally it's in a state that will allow for user testing soon, here is the current status of Windows 10/11 support. More items might be added in case I forgot something.
All of the current code is here: https://github.com/omeg/qubes-installer-windows-tools/tree/omeg/win10
Don't use on production VMs, it's not ready yet. Make sure to set the `default-user` property for the qube manually as appropriate (https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/9020).
TODO:
- Core
- Xen PV drivers
- [x] Core drivers (xenbus/xeniface)
- [x] Additional drivers (disk/network for performance)
- Integration
- [x] Core services (qrexec agent, qubesdb)
- [x] `qvm-run` with passthrough i/o
- [x] AppIcon extraction
- [x] Clipboard integration
- [x] File receiving
- [x] File sending
- [x] Shell context menus for file sending and editing in other VMs
- [x] Initializing the private disk volume
- [x] Moving user profile to the private disk volume (https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/5916)
- GUI agent
- [x] Secure attention sequence (CTRL-ALT-DEL) simulation
- Fullscreen mode
- [x] Basic functionality
- [x] Resolution change on resize (limited by the basic display driver's hardcoded list of supported resolutions)
- Seamless mode
- [x] Basic functionality
- [x] User account control (UAC) popups (desktop switch)
- [x] Capturing Start Menu and notifications
- [ ] A way to interact with the tray notification area
- Installer
- [x] Component selection
- [x] PV drivers component(s)
- [x] Core component
- [x] GUI component
- [x] Proper versioning
- [x] Installing prerequisites (MSVC runtime)
- Building (no cross build on Linux possible anymore due to building Xen PV drivers from source)
- [x] Visual Studio build
- [x] Standalone build
- [ ] Integration with Qubes builder
Nice to have (will most likely be done after an initial release):
- Release-signing for PV drivers (https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/9019)
- Performance-enhancing OS tuning
- Windows 7/11 compatibility (11 seems to mostly work without issues)
- Seamless mode optimization (moving windows looks laggy)
- A GUI utility for various settings that are configurable via registry
- Custom WDDM GPU driver (for better performance and easier access to DWM-managed window surfaces)
Known issues (will be added to github once the code is merged):
- Stubdomain memory may need to be increased if you encounter Qemu being oom-killed (https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/3821)
- NTFS symlinks are not handled correctly by file sender
- Rarely some framebuffer changes seem not to be detected correctly in fullscreen mode

<summary>Original issue text from Qubes user @caschulz88</summary>
Hi,
I was wasn't able to find any already opened issue about this topic so I'm creating one right now. In all documentation on qubes-windows-tools there is always only the information that newer Windows versions than Windows 7 are in development.
Can anyone please clarify what exactly this means? Do we have a roadmap or special features, which are missing at the moment? Because the MSI installer has a hard check for Windows 7 version in it I wasn't able to run the installer on Windows 8 and Windows 10 in comatibility mode (as the user cannot specify a specific Windows version in compatibility mode as he could do when running some executable file). I bet there are some reasons to include such a check there.
Would be great to have this list posted here. I'm also willing to help to get support for Windows 8 and 10 of course!
</details>
