I successfully upgraded Windows Tools in existing Windows VM. Note that it took 4 tries for me to successfully complete it without crashing. I cloned the VM as backup before doing anything. I have not noticed any significant performance increases, only stability improvement. For me though this is the most critical. I have not had a crash since the upgrade. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Ok I can confirm a very significant improvement in power usage. In 3.1 with minimal activity (nothing but basic VM open) the usage is about 24W. Opening a few VM's (personal, work, etc) brings that up to about 28.5W. IN 3.2 with minimal activity (nothing but basic VM open) the usage is about 13.1W. Opening a few VM's (personal, work, etc) brings that up to about 16.3W. There is also an improvement in temperature. My laptop ran pretty warm in 3.1 while in 3.2 it runs cool. Going to dig into it more. My setup is Nvidia Quadro M2000M Intel Xeon M1505 16Gb Ram Given this is new hardware my guess is significant driver updates is the cause. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
