This is to inform you that Qubes-DVD-x86_64-20170706 behaves exactly the same way.

Also files I can tar.gz and ssh. Here it is good to install cygwin on the windows10, and also you want to install classic shell and remove cortana, the spy. I did this and it works Now I have Windows 7 up and running, but I have some minor stability problems - I used testing version of Qubes Windows Tools as there was no stable version avaiable. Did I do something wrong or indeed there is no stable version of Qubes Windows Tools? There is no version of qubes-windows-tools in the stable repo. The latest testing version is 3.2.1-3 and the prior testing release series was 3.0.4-1. After much testing with Windows 7 on Qubes R3.1, I was unable to get QWT 3.2 working in a stable fashion. I don't want to lead you astray - this is very much YMMV. Everyone seems to have their own personalized experience with Windows on Qubes. I think part of the reason for this is that stability is also a function of which Windows updates are installed. I downgraded to QWT 3.0 without PV disk drivers and now have a stable Win 7 running MS Office with full inter-VM operability. (Some of the BSODs received while running QWT 3.2: RDR_FILE_SYSTEM DRIVER_POWER_FAILURE QUOTA_UNDERFLOW BAD_POOL_HEADER MEMORY_MANAGEMENT A device driver has pool.) I fully understand what you say and what I achieved is satisfying from my point of view. However if I'm going to deploy a number of personal productivity workstation in a banking environment the ordinary user will kill my project when he looses his work because of minor unstability.
