when I log in to my system a grayed out default-dvm “disp893” starts, where the only options in the Qubes Domains panel menu are: “internal qube, console log, kill”
what is this for? Is there a way/would it be okay to disable it? thank you.
It is a preloaded disposable, how it is displayed should change. See related issue:

### Qubes OS release
Qubes OS 4.3
### Brief summary
My initial idea was that … such thing would not be necessary, I thought that by making it internal, people would just let it be. I guess the combination of curious people that do not read the release notes is very high. I think this will become worse once the there is no more preloaded disposable in release notes, and a new release comes some time from now.
### Steps to reproduce
1. See paused disposable qubes in the system tray, shown as internal, what does that mean?
2. See internal qubes after enabling it in qube manager, what are those paused disposable qubes?
### Expected behavior
User understands that these qubes are manager by the system and what they are.
### Actual behavior
User knows it is manager by the system, but is still curious to know what it is and how to control it.
### Additional information

It is kinda limited what I can do:
- system tray tooltip can have markup (links), but leaving the widget hides the tooltip, meaning it is not clickable.
- qube manager doesn't have tooltips on the rows
Therefore, some tools can have a large explanation and pointers, while other tools can only have a brief text "Preloaded disposable", which will be let to the user to search on the docs for that string.
If you still want to disable it:
thank you for the prompt reply. I agree with the issue’s OP that this should be explained somewhere. it’s surprising that I couldn’t find any posts about it here. solved
