Windows VM BSOD (KMODE EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED) (IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL)

[tempmail]

Wow. were you aware that you were the only one who succeeded to fire it up at all with qwt?

QWT (support for Windows in Qubes OS) is not available anymore. When will this be solved?

@marmarek says he will try to find the time to make QWT available with the final 4.2 release, but no guarantees! Sounds like the Qubes devs will have to set up their own infrastructure to build properly-signed Windows PV driver binaries themselves in order to reach this goal.

Win 7 and Win10/11 under Qubes 4.2

How much are Windows users important to devs actually

It’s been a year from this statement (August 23, 2023). After his Google account has been hacked causing cross-account damages, I have a user who’d be finally willing to transition his small business (up to 10 people) to Qubes, but now with 4.2 he wouldn’t be able to use Win S-HVM’s. He finally clearly understood Qubes benefits and agreed, but he can’t run his business without Win qube(s), simply because he has to run business software that is developed only for Windows.
