That doesn't sound good. And also doesn't sound right, well, not for the 
21st century at least :-)
I could successfully uninstall the 8.2.0 drivers and install the 8.2.2 
(XCP-NG version) drivers though.
It is not really feasible to rebuild the 2019 server I'm referring to so 
we'll do everything to avoid that.
So far the XCP-NG drivers have not made much of a difference (compared 
to the old 8.2.0 drivers that have been working fine for years in 
Windows 2008) in terms of server reliability.
