Just curious, if you install the guest addition 4.3.21, don't you need to also update the host to the same level? or can you mix 'n match?yug wrote:I installed test build GA's, (https://www.virtualbox.org/download/tes ... -97986.iso), today and shared folder works so does clipboard sharing -- drag and drop does not seem to work and my webcam witch used to work now has a garbled picture.

Re: Windows 10 (preview in Virtualbox
My host is Windows 8.1 Vbox 4.3.20 -- Guest is the current Win 10 TP. I installed the test build GA's and the screen got small said I needed to restart which I did then adjusted the resolution after reboot and my shared folder appeared in explorer as disconnected network drive -- but it is fully functional.

Re: Windows 10 (preview in Virtualbox
I'm using GA 97986 in build 9926.
Sound is on, screen resolution is set to 1920x1200, shared folder is running, too.
I think it's a crutch for the first time, but it runs.
It seems that C&P and D&D are not running atm.

The folder is not displayed in explorer, but you can access to it via "\\vboxsvr\sharename" manual in cmdline or in the explorer address line. in Explorer then you can grab the icon from the address bar as a link to the desktop .Old Newbie wrote:...
No joy on shared folders though. See attachment. Tried installing multiple times, and each proceeded to Finish without a problem, but no shared folder visible in Explorer after reboot.

Re: Windows 10 (preview in Virtualbox
I'm using GA 97986 in build 9926 - screen is 1600x1200 - but shared folders does not work. Trying to start the GA service yields error 1053: Maybe GA installed the x86 instead of x64 - or viceversa?

OK this worked very nicely for me. Thanks!! Now I can really start to experiment with Windows 10.Schnubbelchen wrote:I'm using GA 97986 in build 9926.

Re: Windows 10 (preview in Virtualbox
With VirtualBox 4.3.24 shared folders started working for me (after rebuilding the guest extensions). And with the "Windows Update* patches from yesterday night, also screen maximization does (to 2560*1440 in my case) - before yesterday I could not achive higher resoluton than 1600*1200 in the VM.
So everything seems to work now.

Re: Windows 10 (preview in Virtualbox
I have no sound and seamless mode does not work for me (I don't get the Windows taskbar). I am running 4.24 on a Mac mini with the latest Windows 10 TP release. Everything else is working great though.
Re: Windows 10 (preview in Virtualbox
"Seamless mode" works for me as does full screen resolution (2560*1440 in my case).
As regards sound, didyou specify the sound device for the VM as "Intel HD Audio"?

Re: Windows 10 (preview in Virtualbox
Win 10 TP Upgrade 10041 will not install in Vbox -- It's a pretty big download so just a heads up for other Windows 10 TP in Virtualbox testers.

Re: Windows 10 (preview in Virtualbox
It has nothing to do with VirtualBox. Microsoft had a problem with the updater and pulled it.yug wrote:Win 10 TP Upgrade 10041 will not install in Vbox -- It's a pretty big download so just a heads up for other Windows 10 TP in Virtualbox testers.

Re: Windows 10 (preview in Virtualbox
I was able to upgrade to build 10041.
Everything except for drag'n'drop works for me.

Re: Windows 10 (preview in Virtualbox
One more thing: I cannot access the "Windows Store" (and could not either before the upgrade). I don't know if it is related to VirtualBox or not.
