Guest additions 7 causing problems
My windows 11 VM is unstable when this is installed causing a lockup I can mostly cause this by pressing the print many times and paste to paint but really it happens at any time.

Re: Guest additions 7 causing problems
The update of GAs is different in Version 7 for modern Windows OS versions. If you have problems, delete the GAs which are installed, then install the new ones.
If you want to see how it works, upgrade to 6.1.40 first and install the 6.1.40 GAs. Then when you upgrade to 7.0.0, the 7.0.0 GAs will install properly (but not in the way they used to - much easier and faster).

Yes, there certainly seems to be a problem there. Do the icons in the task bar jitter when you scroll over them? Mine do.
Seems fine with the 6.1.40 GAs installed.

7.0's graphics are under development. Please upgrade to 7.0.6 Virtualbox, Extension Pack if used, and Guest Additions.
If this does not get a stable VM, and you have 3D acceleration turned on, try running the VM with 3D acceleration turned off. If that stabilizes the VM, Please create a ticket in the Bugtracker with the problem description, the manufacturer and model of the host PC's graphics card, the graphics driver version (on the host OS), and a (zipped) VBox.log file.
