Not sure why this is "minor" priority. To emphasize, many Windows distros (including almost all Windows Server versions) are completely inaccessible after installation. I tried the following as a workaround (while 6 was DomID of Windows). Not surprisingly, it failed, presumably because qemu is not on these systems: If there are any other work arounds, it would be good to know in the meantime... |
Try ctrl+alt+ins |
ctrl+alt+ins does not work. WORKAROUND (not ideal):

ctrl-alt-home translation to CAD is performed by the gui agent in Windows Tools. If the tools are not installed in the HVM, keyboard input is not translated. Customization of the shortcut is planned if the time allows, but maybe a better solution would be to synthesize CAD from the gui daemon for cases where guest tools are not present? It's true that server editions require CAD to log in to even install guest tools. Still, special casing such stuff in the gui daemon seems like a bad idea... |
Hi,
Not the best solution but for the moment... |
In order to add some informations to my last post : Thanks for the amazing job you are all doing, this is one of the best OS that I tried :) |
I need to start my Windows HVM in debug mode, and then press CTRL + ALT + HOME in the debug screen (which only shows 'Starting Windows') to be able to login. I find it hard to believe it's a problem with the keyboard layout, but I'm on US Dvorak, in case it helps. Using the on screen keyboard does nothing for me. |
Same Problem here, on a german WIn 7 Pro, after Domain Join it is impossible to login. I tried the tip from @wayzard but it does not work for me :( On-Screen-Keyboard is also no help. |
@SietsevanderMolen Thanks for that Tip, that worked like a charm :) |
This is my use case:
This is how I enabled passing Ctrl+Alt+Delete to the Windows HVM: After removing the keyboard shortcut, Windows recognizes the Ctrl+Alt+Delete combination just like any other key press when the HVM's window is active. @SietsevanderMolen's suggestion above did not work for me. I tried: No debug window appeared for me, and pressing Ctrl+Alt+Home with the Windows HVM window active resulted in the "Move window to previous workspace" action which is defined in the XFCE Window Manager settings. |
A trick is to press the Shift key 5 times to activate the Sticky Keys mode (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_keys). Thus to send the Ctrl-Alt-Suppr sequence to the VM:
Worked on Qubes R4.0 and Windows Server 2016 as HVM. |
As it is now, under R4 current testing, with QWT installed, Windows 7 doesn't accept ctrl-alt-home as ctrl-alt-del. ctrl-alt-windows-del does not work either. However, sometimes the delete key becomes permantly equivalent to ctrl-alt-delete, so any use of the delete key gives the windows security screen. It's somewhat maddening and I haven't been able to figure out why. On screen keyboard doesn't show any stuck keys. Brendan |
@andrewdavidwong I am affected by this issue when installing Windows Server 2019 on Qubes 4.0 using https://github.com/elliotkillick/qvm-create-windows-qube and the i3wm |
Remote Desktop is not enabled by default in the answer file so I cannot log in on port 3389 with an rdesktop tool from another qube ether. |

If anyone believes that this issue should be reopened and reassigned to an active milestone, please leave a brief comment. |
HVM domUs are not responding to the accepted key combination (control-alt-home according to the docs) to receive a control-alt-delete signal while the HVM desktop's window has focus.
Qubes Tools for Windows was not installed. (In some scenarios, they cannot be installed on a system.)
In cases where a system requires control-alt-delete to enter a login screen, this renders a guest system unusable.
As a less important addition, similar considerations may also be needed for other "control-alt-" key combos (like control-alt-F1 on Linux domUs).
