In virt-manager > Edit > Preferences > [console tab] I see options for Graphical console scaling [ Never / Fullscreen only / Always] Resize guest with window [System default / Off / On] This looks like it might just set defaults for options accessible from the VM view menu, but perhaps worth experimenting with? The only Linux VM I have in virt-manager used the spice display manager by default. If you are using spice too, this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41990600/virt-manager-guest-resize-not-working suggests spice-guest-tools is required for Windows clients, with link to download page Does any of that help?
