Pictures can be posted using the forum's Upload Attachment tab on the first day first post.
And since in your recent posts you have had difficulty following directions using the Upload Attachment tab, I'll assume that you can't fid it:
Please use it.

Re: virtualbox not showing all screen
Thanks for the screenshot. That does not look normal.
Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.
Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip it, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Re: virtualbox not showing all screen
RAM is severely overprovisioned:
The only thing I can see that may influence the graphics is old Guest Additions:
Also, check if you're using Wayland in the VM. If so, try X instead.
Though this may not be causing your problem, it will bite you sooner or later. It didn't bite this time because Linux doesn't demand all its RAM at boot.00:00:05.264646 Host RAM: 16303MB (15.9GB) total, 5100MB (4.9GB) available

The only thing I can see that may influence the graphics is old Guest Additions:
Try uninstalling the GAs, then reboot the VM, then the prerequisites https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... nux-prereq then 6.1.38 GAs https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04. ... ions-linux00:00:05.068762 VirtualBox VM 6.1.38 r153438 win.amd64 (Sep 1 2022 14:20:23) release log
