      @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: same

                Basically 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 exists report back? Normally it's supposed to self-destruct but maybe something went wrong 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
