Hi, I have started using Ubuntu 23.10 in work last week. Has been using Windows about 25 years.
So I have Ubuntu as host on a pretty fast laptop with KVM and qemu.
Windows 10 is installed as guest.
I have installed VirtIO-Win-0.1.240 from CDROM ISO in windows without any problem.

I have used VMWare WorkStation before that have the features below,

So first problem is that Windows highest resolution is 2560 x 1440. My second external monitor have native resolution 3440 x 1440 ratio 21:9. My laptops screen resolution is 3456 x 2160 ratio 16:10.. As a result there is black borders on left and right. I cannot use the whole monitor in guest. But Ubuntu settings list my monitors correct. I have only this problem in Windows 10 guest. That's why I suspect a problem with driver.

Next problem is the clipboard sharing. It works to copy plain text between host and guest. But not files. No error messages.

Another problem is that I want to be able to read and write a an USB image as USB device on host. I have not managed to get this to work.

I realize I am a Linux newbie so there might be some simple and logical steps to fix it. But I have spent the last days with Googling and asked ChatGPT.
Hope this will get some progress with this post.
Tell if further information is needed

Try switching to the spice driver for video. Search forum for spice

As for copying files with the clipboard, can't help you there - I use winscp or Samba

You should be able to R/W a USB image from the VM, there are recent posts on this, could search for passthrough
