locks the screen, I cannot seem to power it off. The virsh command
states that the domain is being shutdown, but it in fact does not. I
looked at some registry settings for the VM (server 2008) and see if I
can pinpoint an entry I need to set, but had no luck. Any ideas? Thank
you for your support.
If you are able to install the qemu-agent guest agent into your Windows
guest, then newer qemu and libvirt have an option to use the guest agent
to trigger a shutdown in this situation. But without that, you are
stuck with the fact that by default, Windows ignores APCI interrupts
when locked. There might be a registry setting you can tweak to make
Windows behave differently than default, but offhand I don't know what
it would be.
