2. Base AppVMs on the new template. 2. If your keyboard or mouse is connected through `sys-usb`, switch `sys-usb` to the new template.
(Note that this is a single command to ensure that `sys-usb` restarts.
If it does not, you will not be able to use your USB keyboard or mouse.)

4. Updating the template for sys-usb if peripheral devices are dependent upon the VM
If you are running Qubes on a desktop or other device where the peripheral devices such as keyboard / mouse / trackpad are dependent upon the sys-usb appVM then updating the template is a challenge. In this situation, you can use the following commands in a dom0 terminal window to update the templateVM.
$ qvm-shutdown --wait sys-usb; qvm-prefs sys-usb template fedora-31; qvm-start sys-usb
Be careful to run this set of commands as shown above (3 commands in a single line) because if the sys-usb VM does not start back up you may be locked out of your machine.
