have a windows hvm and installed windows tools exactly the way it needs to be installed.

I enter the command prompt, reboot and start the qubes windows tools installation - works all fine TILL I restart the windows hvm with
for the first time ...

it simply does not start and stays on the 'yellow' button

Windows problems may have a lot of reasons.
Sometimes after a failed boot windows wants to start "boot help" (or
whatever its called in English) and defaults to use it. As you do not
see this selection in Qubes (only if you enable debug mode) it boots
into that mode and Qubes is tuck at yellow for that VM. Try debug mode
and non-seamless.
