@Mathieu ok. Yeah I already had that enabled. Glad you got it working.

Windows guests Console - Reloads every 5-10s.
When trying to use the console for both my Windows 11 and Server 2025. The console reloads every 5-10s. This makes it borderline unusable. Since it resets the viewport/window scroll placement as well. Also the console seems to loose focus when this happens as well. Leading to have to click the console-section to get it in focus, to receive I am not seeing this behaviour in XO5 at all.
I do not see the same behaviour on Linux (Ubuntu 24.04) guests. But they are cli-only. No X/Wayland

Management agent 9.1.100-59 on both VMsWindows 11 has GPU passthrough & bios
Windows Server 2025 - no GPU passthrough , uses uefi -
Just updated to latest commit - 8e2d9. Trying to create new VM in xov6 and a few issues to start.
New vm settings
- Ubuntu 24.04 template
- 4 cpu cores
- 6 gb of ram
- Ubuntu iso mounted
- No option to adjust topology for cpu cores.
VM was created with 1 cpu core no iso disk mounted

For me it's a bit confusing XO6.
For example, why are the icons so small and in such far corners, like New VM? It's like you want it to be hidden.
Isn't it more intuitive if they're at the top/bottom of this menu or in line with title (***-xen01)?
Another thing is the number of allocated processors. In my opinion it is misleading. It shows the total number of allocated processors even to VMs that are not started.
It is not better to be something like:
8 vCPUs running VMs / 4 vCPUs stopped VMs - total number allocated vCPUs 12/ Total CPUs 8.
And something like 8 - green / 4 -red - 12 orange/ 8 grey

Clicking through the different parts in the leftmost pane has (what feels like) inconsistent landing pages. When in reality, it lands on the previous tab visited for that item.
Example.
If I click on Xen Orchestra Appliance I would expect to land on the Dashboard tab. But if I had previously looked inside the Pools tab, then that is where I would land.This behaviour is the same regardless of which item I click through. Be it Pool/Host/Guest..
I'll admit that it kind of makes a little bit of sense in thought. But it feel far more jarring and confusing when navigating. Since you never really know which tab you'll be met with when browsing. As each and every level/item is handled individually, separate from all others.

@jr-m4 Seems useful to me for the tabs to be sticky. If you are flipping back and forth between sections to compare or work on something, having it always default to the first tab can be annoying.

@dcskinner make it a user préférence, and we get the best of both worlds

Unfortunately this is still present in commit 0a0ae5dc7ea6608612d105f6338ffe72d8bd9ed1 as well..Update: I recorded the behaviour, for better clarification:

I was having similar focus issues with a Debian 12 VM today, switched to XO5 to get the work done. Every few seconds the green border would vanish, but when it came back nothing had reset so it was less painful, but still annoying enough to switch back to 5.
