Great news, thanks.

Are there instructions how to upgrade from existing Qubes Tools 3.2 which I have installed in my win 7 hvm under qubes 4.0

This is one of things to test. Following the same procedure as for
initial tools installation should work:

I upgraded the Qubes Windows Tools from v 3.2.2.3 to v 4.0.1.

I had to do several reboots and as I run into a qrexec timeout I increased timeout period from 300 to 600 seconds.

I have the problem that I can start the windows 7 VM but it seems to be stalled after the initial boot (black window with glowing Windows Logo).

I tried to debug mode an without debug.

Any ideas where to look for errors?

Anyone else run into problems?

Hi Marek,

I've updated Dom0 to current-testing and installed QWT 4.0.0.1 in my
Windows 7 Template. Shared Clipboard and send/receive files work, but
the funny thing is it stops working (or more precisely is halted) for
all other domains. I say halted, because the moment I shutdown Windows
the halted/stalled operations continue for my other domains.

In your git-hub update I read that one of the fixes was actually a
Dom0 fix. Is there anything more I have to do other than go to
current-testing?

Have it helped, or still qrexec timeout?

See qvm-features on this VM - should be gui, qrexec, rpc-clipboard, all
set to '1' (not empty).
Did you have seamless mode enabled or not previously?

Yes. I couldn't manage to have the new version running despite spending
more than 3 hours fighting with that !@#$ Windows).

I've updated/edited the issue some days ago with my findings - see the
top of the issue - maybe not the right place to debug that but I
initially thought the process would be painless.
