I upgraded my Linux host's VirtualBox from 5.2.10 to 5.2.12. Then I updated the Guest Additions on the Guest. Finally I ran the Guest OS (Windows 10) updater. Now everything in the Guest appears to work except the Windows 10 file explorer no longer shows any of the shard folders. I have rebooted the Windows 10 guest OS and also restarted VirtualBox on the host. Virtual Box on the host still shows the shares and "yes" in the column for auto mount.
Any Idea on how to get Windows 10 guest to start showing the shared folders?

Re: Shared Folders Not Shown After VirtualBox Upgrade
I forgot the most obvious fix ... the Windows 10 (guest) upgrade was a major upgrade ... all I needed to do was re-install VirtualBoxes Guest additions.
