hi,
anyone else had re-sizing issues after the recent windows 10 service pack ?
i loaded up my VM this morning to be greeted with a "this box has to restart to complete installation".
i restarted the box.
and now my VM no longer changes it's desktop resolution when i resize the VM window.
used to work without any issues.
now the max resolution i can go up to on a 1080 monitor is 1596 x 909.
i've tried host key + G to toggle this option on/off. makes no difference.
i have have guest additions installed - i tried re-installing; this made no difference.
any tips would be greatly appreciated. this is quite annoying.
thanks
Andy

Please read the following: Minimum information needed for assistance.
Specifically for the VM log file ("VBox.log.zip"), here's what you do:
Specifically for the VM log file ("VBox.log.zip"), here's what you do:
- Start the VM. Not from a saved or suspended state. Clean start.
- Take the steps required to generate/observe the error. Post a screenshot, if you have to.
- Shut down the VM. Not suspended, not paused. Shut down. If you can't shut it down by normal means, close the VM window and select "Power off".
- Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager.
- Select "Show Log..."
- Save it (just the first log, VBox.log), ZIP it and attach it in your response (see the "Upload attachment" at the bottom of the form).
- Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager.
- Select "Show in Explorer".
- ZIP the selected ".vbox" file and attach it in your response.

Re: Resizing doesn't work after last Win 10 service Pack
many apologies.
i've added everything in the attached ZIP file.
in the VM, i attempted to put it into full-screen mode. as you can see in the screenshot, it just remains at it's current resolution as opposed to re-sizing to fit the whole screen. this used to work perfectly after i installed guest additions.
many thanks

In the GUI, what is File|Preferences|Display|"Maximum Guest Screen Size" set to?

Re: Resizing doesn't work after last Win 10 service Pack
it's set to automatic.
i've tried the other options (none, hint - set to 1920x1080).
nothing, it still won't resize. still stuck on 1596 x 909.
thanks.
