It's a known Windows issue, if we can call it that.
Hotplug is a very valid and useful feature, but perhaps showing it so
easily in the taskbar can confuse certain users.
It can be "fixed" with regedit.

Hi Mat,
This sounds like an OS issue, I think you can explore if there's
something in your template you can configure to disable users from
unplugging.
Since 4.17 is old now, there's perhaps something in the extraconfig you
can pass but you'll need to investigate if libvirt/kvm has any
confgiuration to disable hot-plugin feature and then use extraconfig
[1]. That said, I wouldn't advise you to explore this, just explore if
you can the OS.

Subject: KMV disable hotplug
Hi all,
I am using KVM with Cloudstack 4.17.2.
When a windows vm is created the virtIO devices appear at the taskbar
as
available to unplug.
Is there a way to disable hotplug functionality or another way to
restrict
hot-unplugging?
regards
Mat
