Using a custom resolution on win 10 build.

Post by CalicoCactus »

Hi everyone, thanks for tuning in! So basically, I'm using a mac-book air that goes to 1440x900, but my windows 10 build only goes to like 1038x883 or something idr. My friend once fixed it by installing something, so Ik there is a fix but my iso was deleted by a very *special* niece. Regardless, anyone with ideas let me know!

Have you installed the Guest Additions into the Windows 10 guest? From the guest menu: "Devices" -> "Insert Guest Additions CD Image".

Switch resolutions from within the guest. But, since the VM seems to be running in a window-mode, try to press HostKey+F to get it to go in full-screen mode.
