Vbox 6.0.10 crashes when browsing Network drives

Post by Energizer! »

Host is Windows 10 64 bit, 32GB RAM, i7 7820HQ 2.9GHz 4 cores, 8 logical
VM is Windows 7 64 bit, 16GB RAM. VM has three network drives. One of these networked drives is the Downloads folder on the Host. This Downloads folder contains more than 32780 files and 7.749 folders.
Both Vbox and Extension Pack are version 6.0.10
Inside the Win 7 VM, open the network drive Download and browse, select sort by Date or Name
VM freezes, then restarts by itself.

Downgraded Vbox and Extension Pack to version 6.0.8, problem went away.

Anyone else experienced this issue. How to solve it and still be on the latest version 6.0.10?
BTW, This issue happens on all networked drives. It happens 100% of the time on any drive that contains fairly large amounts of files and folders.

Thanks,

'Tis a known bug:

Guest Additions downgrade is a workaround, the test builds may have fixed it, but you can also wait until 6.0.12 comes out.

According to the last 5 reports (as of this writing) in the related ticket #18766, GAs rev. 132480 or newer have fixed the issue.
