I tried to install the Nvidia drivers on the guest, but without success. The error is:
This NVIDIA graphics driver is not compatible with this version of Windows (not true, I downloaded the Windows 8.1 64bit version)
This graphic driver could not find compatible graphics hardware
I have:
Host Lubuntu 20.04
graphic card GeForce GTX 1050
Virtualbox 6.1.16
Host and guest extensions installed
Unable to install Nvidia drivers on Windows 8.1 guest

Re: Unable to install Nvidia drivers on Windows 8.1 guest
The guest doesn't have an NVidia graphics card, hence installing NVidia drivers would be a bit pointless, even if it was allowed.
