**Warning:** It is encouraged to enable autologon for any Windows HVMs that will have Qubes Tools installed in order to avoid possible problems with the Windows logon process, especially if the Ctrl-Alt-Del requirement is enabled there. To do so, in Windows 7, run the ``netplwiz`` command from the :kbd:`Win-R` "execute" prompt, and uncheck the *Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer* option. In Windows 10 and 11, autologon can be configured later on during Qubes Windows Tools installation.

**Warning:** It is recommended to increase the default value of the Windows VM’s ``qrexec_timeout`` property from 60 (seconds) to, for example, 300. During one of the first reboots after Windows Tools installation, Windows user profiles are moved onto the private VM’s virtual disk (private.img), and this operation can take some time. Moving profiles and, later on, updating a Windows installation, is performed in an early boot phase when ``qrexec`` is not yet running, so a timeout may occur with the default value. To change the property use this command in ``dom0``: *(where* ``<VMname>`` *is the name of your Windows VM)*
