Did you enable the guest agent in the options? It's under VM -> Options -> Qemu Agent

 

[yena]

Yes!

I had no missing driver in the device manager. But I had to install virtio-serial to get the guest agent to work. May be worth a try?

Great, adding virtio-serial works!
Thanks

Unfortunately, I have not idea about Windows software development, but I wonder if the guys in charge of the Windows qemu tools could include the virtio-serial driver in the package, check whether it is already installed on the target machine from within the install script and, if not, install it automatically - or at least suggest that one should install it. It would also help if the guest-agent would issue an error message that points out that the virtio-serial driver is missing...
