Power saving was indeed enabled with the system configured to suspend after 30 minutes. I turned it off, and the Windows VM hasn't crashed yet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

The window will disappear when I'm not looking and I later find the VM stopped. In my case the solution is to use the VM, and it is reliable until the work is finished and I shut it down. Just a thought - have a look through the power saving & sleep options. It might be trying to "save power" and causing problems with Xen.

[qubes-users] My Windows VM always stops after a while
I have a Windows VM where I run Outlook for work purposes. It works great and I keep it in a separate xfce workspace. I'm running it in desktop mode (i.e. the Windows desktop is in a single Xfce window). After a certain amount of time (hard to say how long, but I'd guess it's in the 30 minute to 1 hour range) the Windows desktop disappears, and in the Qubes manager the Windows VM is marked as yellow. It will stay yellow until I hard-kill the VM. Does anyone have any idea what is going on, and what I can do to fix it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
