@dinhngtu Upgraded from previous tools (big jump from citrix was already done
) @home and @office a dozen Windows11 and Windows Server 2022.
No issues. -
We noticed that using the XCP-ng Windows PV tools brakes some functionality of the shared clipboard. On a fully patched XCP-ng 8.3 host using Xen Orchestra 5 (actually the 6.2.2 build, but the v5 interface) allows only to copy the clipboard from the VM to the browser, not the other way around.
-
@conitrade-as There should be a fix for that in 9.1.145. Could you try it?
-
@dinhngtu That indeed seems to work. I just realized, that this is a timing issue as well. Sometimes the copy&paste works after a slight delay, where the console seems non-responsive (e.g. cannot move the mouse cursor). After something like ~15 secs things work as expected. For subsequent copy&paste operations the delay seems to be much lower.
-
@conitrade-as Sounds like a problem somewhere in the clipboard stack, I'll look into that.
-
@dinhngtu We have one Win11 in production, which dodn't install the new tools, running the previous ones.
We always get:
We have rebooted before installing the tools: same issue
We have run Xenclean before installing: same
We have run Xenbootfix: sameBasically we'tried everything. I haven't opened an official ticket yet because the answer here might help others.

@manilx Can you check if there's a Copy-XenVifSettings task in Task Scheduler and
delete it if it existsreport back? Normally it's supposed to self-destruct but maybe something went wrong there. -
@dinhngtu Noting there:
-
@manilx What do you see when you run this command from PowerShell?
schtasks /query /tn Copy-XenVifSettings /hresult ; echo $LASTEXITCODE -
-
@manilx Interesting... It's checking for "ERROR: The system cannot find the file specified. -2147024894", which is why it's failing. What if you specified the command this way, with a backslash?
schtasks /query /tn \Copy-XenVifSettings /hresult ; echo $LASTEXITCODE -
-
@manilx Try installing the .msi from an elevated powershell prompt. That worked for one of our Windows 11 VMs.
-
@conitrade-as Yes, fixed. Thx!
The issue on this VM was we were installing as non-admin. All others were admin by default.
Good catch
-
Recent Windows patches also changed the exit code of schtasks.
A new package will be released to address this.

Hello all,
Version 9.1.146 Release of the Windows PV tools has been released.
Download the latest release here: https://github.com/xcp-ng/win-pv-drivers/releases
It will be integrated into the XCP-ng built-in tools ISO after a test period of 2 weeks.
This is a small revision to fix issues when installing on certain Windows installations. Only the installer and XenClean were changed; the binaries inside stay the same.
If you're already on 9.1.145, upgrading is optional.
Changes since 9.1.145
- Fixed: Fix issues when installing on certain Windows installations.
-
Seems that the 9.1.146 version still reports 9.1.145-77 to XO. It is listed as the correct version in "Installed programs" within the guest (Windows server 2025).
-
@probain Yes, that's expected as there were only changes in the installer and XenClean/XenBootFix, the drivers and guest agent binaries included in 9.1.145 and 9.1.146 are the exact same. As a result, the version information in the guest agent (which does the reporting) was not updated.
-
Just wanted to clarify something.
Prior to installing xcpng-winpv-9.1.100.0-Release-x64.zip, I ran Invoke-XenClean.ps1 that came with the package.
Is is still true that, in order to install (upgrade to) xcpng-winpv-9.1.145.0-Release-x64, I have to run XenClean.exe again and then run the new installer?
Its just a lot of reboots, resetting static ip addresses etc.
-
@archw XenClean is not needed when upgrading; it's only needed when switching tools vendor, or when switching from the old XCP-ng 8.2 tools.
The XCP-ng 9.1 tools installer will block installation and indicate an error whenever XenClean is needed.
