Re: Seamless not working with Windows 10 guest

I tried downgrading to 5.0.32 (downgrading guest additions of course) and seamless still doesn't work. It behaves the same for me as it did in 5.1.8, it removes the VM border, but nothing is shared between the OS desktop and the guest desktop.

Re: VirtualBox keeps crashing

Activity Monitor says "App Nap: Yes" on Virtual Box.

I see, I'll try Pause.

Re: VirtualBox keeps crashing

Keyboard lag seems to be significantly better if I disable automatic graphics switching on my Mac.

For the crashing, could it be that app nap is causing the guest to crash?

Re: VirtualBox keeps crashing

I could do that in some cases. Sometimes I'm just too short on time to wait for the VM to pause, I'm already running late for a meeting. It seems to me that the kernel driver shouldn't take down the entire machine, or crash randomly, so if I can provide enough information to help get a fix out, then...

Re: Seamless not working with Windows 10 guest

No, I had tried seamless before, couldn't get it to work but didn't complain. I haven't downgraded to 5.1.8 because I'm still testing 5.1.14 for the crash stability. Even if it still shows the same instability, downgrading to 5.1.8 won't help me with seamless because it didn't work for me then, but ...

Re: Seamless not working with Windows 10 guest

It didn't work at 5.1.8 either. At 5.1.8, all that happened was the OS border for the VM was removed.

Re: VirtualBox keeps crashing

After upgrading and moving off my desk, upon opening the lid of the laptop, all I had was a black screen. Multiple close and open attempts did not get the display going again. Brightness was not the issue. I had to hold the power button to manually turn it off and then back on again. If this reprodu...

[Fixed 5.1.28] Seamless not working with Windows 10 guest

At the suggestion on my other thread ( VirtualBox keeps crashing ), I upgraded to 5.1.14, but I can't get seamless mode to work. I upgraded the guest additions, but when I go to seamless mode, the following happens: - The taskbar appears at the bottom of the screen as it should - The macOS desktop i...

VirtualBox keeps crashing

I'm running VirtualBox 5.1.8 on macOS 10.12.2 and it frequently crashes. I usually work connected to power and two external monitors, and keeping the lid closed. I usually notice (but not always), when I pick my laptop up from my desk, the VM has crashed. I think this might be a key part of the issu...
