      How can I improve the display and overall responsiveness of my win 10 guest running on KVM?

      I've increased the video ram to 64MB up from 16MB. Any other pointers?

        You've already install spice guest tools?

            I'd also suggest using RDP to actually use the Windows VM.

              Rather than the virt-manager console?

                  Yeah. RDP seems to work better, and things like the Windows key actually work, lol.

                      Remote Viewer is pretty good after installing spice guest tools.

                      For RDP, you would have to create an isolated virtual network if you don't have an extra network interface in order to remote into a Windows VM.

                        When I'm logged in using Wayland display support, Windows key works when I'm using the remote viewer. You just have to allow it inhibit shortcuts.

                          This is only needed if you're not using a bridge or routed network.

                            What's your preferred RDP client ?

                                I have zero issues using virt manager viewr for my local guest VM

                                for remote, I would use RDP or ScreenConnect.

                                  This is what I use for RDP.

                                    I use remote-viewer due to it allowing multiple monitors, and performance seems better than virt-manager.

                                        The console is normally just for local management tasks, not for actual usage. In cloud computing, you don't expect to even have the console.
