The following is a query in the Bugtracker about "VBoxTray", grouped by version: https://www.virtualbox.org/query?descri ... r=priority

Same issue in Win 10 Enterprise host running a Win Server 2003 guest. This was the first time I've noticed the problem. Resolved by restarting guest.

Hi
I'm A newbe here.

I have same issue. I have Virtualbox 5.036 on Ubuntu 16.04 and after few minutes of work with the virtual machine the CPU starts to be very busy by virtualbox.
Do I need to reinstall the 5.016 to solve this issue?

thanks

Hello all.

Did anyone check, whether disabling the "Shared Clipboard" makes any difference?

I'm asking, because I just had an application (MathCAD14) stalling completely in a WinXP virtual machine.
The effect it is showing is very much the described behaviour.
I got around the issue by disabling the "Shared Clipboard", so I'm guessing this maybe somehow related?

All the best.

I don't remember anyone making that connection before, but as you say it should be a simple test.
