Hi.

Unfortunately, you can't modify the vcpus or memory for a fully
virtualized guest while it's running. If virt-manager is letting you do
that, that's a bug, we should fix it (I assume the guest is running when
you do this?).

No the guest is not running at that time of changing memory.

If the guest is shut down, you should be able to edit the memory
settings and have the changes persist -- is that the case?

But the changes doesn't persist. Even if I apply. It shows the changed values in the Hardware Details but doesn't applies them that's why the virtual machine lists in the main window shows the old value and the next startup of virt-manager too uses the old vaue.
