Linux Host/Windows 10 Guest - Screen Flickering?

Post by JeZ-l-Lee »

Hi,

Running current non-beta of VirtualBox on a Manjaro KDE 64Bit Linux host with a Windows 10 Pro 64Bit guest.
The Windows 10 guest has screen flickering?
The Windows guest additions are installed as well as the Linux nVidia proprietary display driver.

Any ideas on how to fix this issue, thanks!

Hmm... Aren't you the lucky one? Your timing is impeccable! ;)

This is a bug since the 4.3.x days ("VBox > 4.3.14 has flicker / slow redrawing of UI elements (regression)"), and just yesterday a fix got checked into the trunk (comment #75). There's even a test build that you can try out and see if it fixes it for you. You'll need to set an environment variable, see comment #71 and later.

Be sure to let them know in the ticket if it worked for you or not...
