Hi Dominique, Thank you again for all of your help.
I was not able to find an '/etc/libvirt.qemu.conf' file specifically on my system. My distro is likely different than yours. I was able to find '/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf however, and have added the value there: -------------------------------- frank@Linux-Precision-T1500:/etc$ sudo grep -r security_driver * libvirt/lxc.conf:#security_driver = "selinux" libvirt/qemu.conf:# security_driver = [ "selinux", "apparmor" ] libvirt/qemu.conf:# value of security_driver cannot contain "dac". The value "none" is libvirt/qemu.conf:# a special value; security_driver can be set to that value in libvirt/qemu.conf:security_driver = "none" -------------------------------- I also uncommented '/etc/libvirt/lxc.conf:#security_driver = "selinux"' above and modified it to be "none". (I'm not using LXC but sure, why not?) I've restarted my workstation and logged into the Windows 10 VM. Sadly, I have to report the same issue. -------------------------------- Windows could not start the QEMU Guest Agent service on local computer. Error 1053: the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. -------------------------------- Any additional idea(s)? As always, thank you in advance.
