For this issue, please check the following configurations of your VM:

   - Does your VM have a GUI?  If not, '*Auto Resize VM with Window'*
   option will be disabled in text mode.
   - Does the service 'qumu-guest-agent' is running inside your VM?
   - Does the VM be configured with 'qemu-ga' channel? If not, you can add
   it via virt-manager or 'virsh edit command'
      - <channel type="unix">
        <target type="virtio" name="org.qemu.guest_agent.0"/>
        <address type="virtio-serial" controller="0" bus="0" port="1"/>
      </channel>


Hope the above information can do you a favor, thanks.

Sorry, I have no idea about this one. Or you can provide much more
information about it, thanks.
