Black screen after guest addition install Win Build 17074

Post by NemesisIV »

I can clean install Windows Build 17074, or upgrade, but upon installing guest additions for Virtualbox 5.2.6, all I get is a black screen. I can turn off 3d accelleration and get it to work on this build. This effects x86 and x64. I can downgrade to a lower version of windows, and I can get this to work, with 3d accelleration enabled. So this seems to affect the newer insider builds. Windows 10 Host.

You didn't mention your guest (you should have, now I have to guess), but if it's a Linux-based one, check the Downloads page, the "Important" paragraph at the top...

It is Windows 10 guest on a Windows 10 host. Sorry, new to this. It seem to effect Nvidia Geforece 970m dual graphics with Intel chipset. I have a dedicated Nvidia card on a desktop that works.
