Hi Carlos,<br>
my main curiosity was about the need of the agent for resize.<br>
I did some tests and with both Windows and Linux it appears that the<br>
agent is needed.<br>
At this point I would try looking at the agent logs.<br>
Is your system using Xorg or Wayland ?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Frediano<br>

With all SPICE stuff properly installed, everything works out of the box: clipboard, resizing, file transfer from host to guest. With "properly installed" I mean: installed SPICE drivers manually from virtio-win ISO by loading them since the Windows installation beforehand, then once booted into Windows downloaded the vdagent ZIP from spice-space website and manually installed the service according to instructions.<br>
