Status update. Quoting Rafał Wojdyła from just half an hour ago:
Progress update: I’m currently finishing Qubes Builder integration which is required for official builds. I expect this to be done in around a week and probably a week more for review/testing. Current QWT branch can be built manually and is usable, the instructions are in the main repo in the OP.
I’ve built and tested it in win10 a few days ago and the GUI was not very usable (both seamless mode and full desktop mode), there were a lot of graphical glitches.
I don’t know if it’s a problem with my setup or not.
After the branch is merged and the CI/CD workflow is properly setup, I believe it would be possible to further test it and build on top of it. I am personally interested on working on global clipboard improvements for Windows. The others could also help.
Thanks!
I followed it and successfully installed windows 10 but… shouldn’t it have access to the intel’s GPU tho? I can’t launch photoshop with it at all because of this… any workarounds?
It’s probably some very dumb question but… does that actually mean I won’t be able to use photoshop at all if I have only intel’s GPU?!
4.1. Open Photoshop Preferences
Launch Photoshop and go to “Edit” > “Preferences” > “Performance” (Windows) or “Photoshop” > “Preferences” > “Performance” (Mac).4.2. Graphics Processor Settings
Uncheck “Use Graphics Processor” and restart Photoshop. This will force Photoshop to use software rendering instead of relying on the graphics processor.

It didn’t let me even start the app… How would I go for it’s settings?
But I installed windows 11 instead of 10 and magically… it worked. But damn it’s slow… but at least it worked.
And thanks for that setting… I guess it affect something, but I didn’t feel like it improved any performance
I have an issue with the mouse pointer… the Qubes’ pointer doesn’t reflect the windows’ one… so if I hover over something clickable, I get the same cursor pointer in Qubes, but in windows it’s a hand with a finger(not that finger!)… I’m using windows 10 at the moment. how do I fix that?
You can disable cursor in WIndows:
Qubes Windows Tools (QWT) | Qubes OS
Yeah I tried that and it’s either I don’t do it correctly or it simply doesn’t work…
I entered the new key qga inside the Qubes Tools key and created DWORD DIsableCursor with value of 1… I did restart the qube but it didn’t work.
besides, the Qubes’ cursor doesn’t reflect as I said the status of the windows’ cursor, like hovering etc… it’s the same pointer… you have the same or am I the lucky one?
You still see two cursors after this?
I think it’s not supported currently.
Yeah I still have two cursors…
I guess it only works in WIndows 7 since it requires Qubes GUI agent to be installed and it’s only available for Windows 7 right now.
Got it, thanks
Thank you for information!
Does it mean that in about 2 weeks QWT will be once again supported on Qubes OS out of box using qubes-dom0-update, as it was before?
When can we have a “no small-point disclaimers attached” Windows QWT support in QubesOS. I find it tiring seeing “well you can use it but such and such causes such and such attack vectors 'cause the windows license/signature issues” — I just want to be able to use Windows (current one) in the seemless mode
I am not certain. The support might come to r4.2. Or only to r4.3. I will monitor this closely.
Let’s hope for sooner than later. In any case, thank you, and please keep us up to date on the situation in this thread if possible…
