Hi
We're struggling with this also. We're running RHV 4.3 in our development
environment and have found that he latest client tools in conjunction
with v0.19
of the Windows 10 driver
<
has
made a big difference to performance. Additionally, we have
/etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d/20-overload.properties with:
os.windows_10.devices.display.vramMultiplier.value = 8
os.windows_10x64.devices.display.vramMultiplier.value = 8
This new driver isn't perfect though and we've found that various things
stop working after a couple of days. These include screen auto resizing and
also the mouse/keyboard gets captured when the screen auto resize stops
working. Our clients are typically dual screen, each at 2560x1440.
We're going live with a new environment in about 4 months which will
include 140+ VDI Windows 10 VMs so we're very keen to get this sorted.

Hello everyone,
I am comming back to this issue because of the need to spinup a couple of
Win10 vdi vms, and I can see that the problem still persist - at least for
me.
I am using now a fresh installed and updated oVirt 4.2.8 and latest
guest-tools iso. Still havig very laggy desktop experience on Win10.
Win2012 seems fine, Win7 fine as well.
Is there anyone of you guys having Win10 working at least decent for a vdi
usage ? Any thoughts on this ?
Thank you very much !
