Looking forward to XCP-ng 8.3 when ready.

@olivierlambert Thank you - appreciate for the confirmation.

@michael-manley Sounds fantastic! Should allow for GUI additions flexibility as well.

@michael-manley Thank you Michael (and patch- and issue-submitters), some clients/users find XCP-ng Center faster for some tasks and like it for familiarity's sake.

Your efforts are much appreciated for making XCP-ng less daunting for a number of people I know - thanks again.

If you are still perchance looking for potential additions, having a (selectable/slide out) right-side of screen (or bottom perhaps) area for showing the running list of tasks (current and history) would make seeing what is going on easier (a quality-of-life issue) rather than switching to it for users (thus making usage and tracing of 'events' faster).

Something like that would be really welcome in XO too !

@olivierlambert Thank you - appreciate for the confirmation.

@olivierlambert Thank you, that was my understanding from reading the documentation - in which case, for multiple host / VM migration scenarios, a physical TPM2 chip is of no benefit - and thus not required?

Per: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/7487/vtpm-support-requirements, Stormi (in June of 2023) has confirmed that a physical TPM hardware module is not required for vTPM. I assume, when buying host hardware for Windows VMs, it is correct to count on this for the future as well.

Thanks for this interesting discussion.

@DustinB In your understanding, does using a built-in chip limit Windows 11 VM (for example) host migrations?

Said another way, is vTPM recommended/required for VMs that will potentially run on multiple hosts?

@Mt_KEGan Confirming that on my end UEFI is what distinguishes my bluescreening VMs from non-bluescreening (BIOS) ones.

Correspondingly, hardware (Intel i7) may not be the deciding factor (at least for my pools).

@KPS Updated manually via download and 'automatically' via running the task in Windows Scheduler.

Upon manual update tried allowing the XenServer Management Agent to update both Agent and Drivers - as well as just Agent: both setup attempts bluescreened.

Confirming issue.

All Windows 10 VMs on one host bluescreen upon update to 9.3.3 (even with toggling XOA option to update by Windows Update off). Used recommended install settings.

9.3.1 and 9.3.2 cause no issues.

Interestingly, all Windows 10 VMs on another host (different pool) have no issues with 9.3.3.

Seems hardware specific: Xeon host fine; Intel i7 host bluescreening.
