Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previous versions of virtual floppy disk image have no qxl driver included. As the result, it was not possible to install qxl driver from the same installation media as virtio network and/or block drivers. In 6.2 qxl drivers were added to the virtio-win installation media. Which makes it is possible to install and update qxl drivers without requiring MSI installer.
