Compatibility issue for XO tool with Windows 10 version 2004?

anchen

dear community, i recently installed Windows 10 version 2004 via XO, and has the option: Windows Update tools enabled/ticked. also, I downloaded the Windows version XO tool: XCP-ng.Windows.PV.Drivers.8.2.2.200-rc1.iso installed on Windows successfully.

However, I see that XO is still showing that: Management agent not detected is not detected, but Hardware virtualization with paravirtualization drivers enabled (PVHVM).

I must say, the XO tools did work fine on the old version of windows 10 ( e.g. prior version 2004 ). So I am wondering if there is a specific compatibility issue with version 2004.

Thank you.

OK, I notice this line from the doc: Prerequisite: Disable "Windows Update tools".

I am going to re-install fresh windows 10 again, adn ensure Windows Update tools is disabled. will report here.

sorry, it was my bad. re-installed WIndows 10 version 2004, with Windows Update tools disabled. eveyrthing works perfectly. hmm, i am wondering why that option is there for XO, if it is causing an issue for the refresh install?

Have you read https://xcp-ng.org/docs/guests.html#windows ?

Hi, @olivierlambert

Yep, but i had quick scanning through which I think i missed that part. I then went back read it again line by line, I was still bit confused, but I noticed that line of "disable the windows update tools", which resolved issue.

If I could make a suggestion, maybe only myself has this issue. when I read that section, I still do not fully clear if I should keep the windows update tool off, or just temporarily off.

maybe I should go back and read it again. hehe

In short, set it off if you don't want to use Citrix tools. If you want to use Citrix tools, use it.

If you want a clearer wording, feel free to contribute directly in the doc
