Hhmmm... I am a bit confused now...
I am using Windows 10 without any QWT for quite a while now. I installed it
from ISO and never even tried installing the qubes Windows tools, as far as I
remember. And I have no trouble using it in fullscreen mode after configuring
Qubes to allow fullscreen mode for this particular Qube... The drawback is the
missing copy/paste and two mouse pointers, but I got used to it...
Can it be, that you actually mean seamless mode!?!?
