Hello.
I have 3 identical vms (version 5.2.12 r122591) runing Win10 as guest. Host is Win10 too.
Only one of them is able to access a shared folder (called Host_x) on host but the others cannot.
I'm not running vms simultaneously. Windows says \\vboxsvr exists, but can't connect to Host_x.
Curiously everything was OK some days ago.
Can you help?
Thanks.

Re: Cannot access shared folder
If a Windows 10 guest got a bigger Windows Update you may have to reinstall the guest additions inside the guest.

Re: Cannot access shared folder
If that doesn't fix it, we will need to see the VBox.log file from two of the guests - specifically the guest that works and one that fails! zip the log files and post them.

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.

Re: Cannot access shared folder
- Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe error / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
- With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
- Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

Re: Cannot access shared folder
Hi all.
I just solved the problem reinstalling Guest Additions, but this time right clicking VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe and running it as Administrator.
Maybe I have did this in vm that's ok and forget to do it in other two vms.
I want to sincerely thank you for all your answers.
