I will give you a brief interim report.
Nothing has changed so far. After about 6 days I have almost 600 conhost processes again.
I have currently activated weekly reboots as a workaround.
On my Hyper-V test VM, this has still not occurred after 16 days.

RE: Windows Server 2025 on XCP-ng
I have now found time to run a test VM on another hypervisor (Hyper-V).
It is also freshly installed and an ADDS role has been set up on it.
My observations show that the VM has now been running for 3 days and so far no hanging conhost processes have occurred.
I will continue to monitor this for a while. -
RE: Windows Server 2025 on XCP-ng
Hi
Thanks for your reply.
Yes you are right. It's not the first time that this problem occurs within windows.
To countercheck i've set up a comparable vm on another hypervisor to see if it behaves differently.
Also at this time i would think it's not XO backup related because my second scenario does not make any backups.
I will report back how it goes.

RE: Windows Server 2025 on XCP-ng
I currently suspect that the ADDC role could cause this on the 2025 server. I have reinstalled the server with the new ISO to 8.2.1 to see how it works. No entries for a few days. But as soon as the ADDC role is installed, it starts. Could also be due to the role itself. I haven't tested this on any other hypervisor yet. If it occurs also on others it's not related to XCP-ng

RE: Windows Server 2025 on XCP-ng
Hello Olivier
Thank you for your quick reply.
I have not investigated this topic further as the server is still in preview at the moment and things can change quickly.
I have to say that the Windows is more or less freshly installed with an AD role on it.
Nothing else has been done.
So I just wanted to ask in advance whether other community members have already had any testing experience or whether any of you developers have any experience, plans or background information.Best regards

Windows Server 2025 on XCP-ng
Hi all!
I would like to ask if it is already known if Windows Server 2025 will be supported on XCP-ng LTS (8.2.1).
I was able to install the operating system successfully during my tests.
The XCP-ng / Citrix tools could also be installed successfully and seem to work.
I have only noticed one problem so far. It seems that conhost processes are constantly being created.
These remain in place. After about 20 days there are already about 1500 processes.
These require corresponding resources and slow down the system in the long run.
After a restart, everything is fine again for a while. See also the screenshots.
Note, that there are incremental backups sheduled with XO. Maybe there is something related
to diskdriver and / or snapshot functionality?
Do you know anything about this situation?As we will soon be setting up a new environment and want to start right away with Server 2025,
it would be nice to find out something about this here.Thank you in advance
Kind regards,
