If you have windows tools installed in that HVM, check output of
`qvm-prefs win7` command - you have `qrexec_installed` flag here - if
it's set to False, change it to True (`qvm-prefs -s win7
qrexec_installed True`).
In theory it should be done automatically if you have tools installed.
So first make sure you have them there.

You have probably run into this:
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1977
You need to have `qubes-windows-tools` package installed. Take a look
here:
