Qubes Windows Tools 3.1.2.3 works well, and little to no issue, after that, they broke it and it has not been able to be fixed properly. "Something they fixed broke something else." It's a common situation and a tradeoff. So if you don't mind the bug in the earlier version, use it to get back the better Video Adaptor (Qubes Video) I did it, and it works perfectly for me. I can set whatever resolution I want. If I want seamless mode, I just enable to video and the run it in seamless mode. At one point, I had it running on the screen, and had a hardware mouse in it, and it was on BOTH Qubes (SEAMLESS) as well as standard. so it was DUAL MONITOR completely. So I had one window that was Windows, and then if I moved things from there off onto the Qubes Video screen, then it would be Seamless where I would use my other mouse. That worked like a charm. Then I updated the tools, and installed the update, and it broke it. > Am 24.04.2017 5:09 vorm. schrieb "Drew White" <[email protected]>: > > On Monday, 24 April 2017 04:05:17 UTC+10, Ely105 wrote: > > > All, > > > After several different installs of a win7 HVM I have noticed on my > >systems that the Windows Desktop defaults to a fullscreen window, in my case > >3840x2100.
