Shared folders on guest running Windows 10 1903

Post by Shmu26 »

When the guest machine, running Windows 10, upgrades the May 2019 feature update, AKA 1903, the shared folders function stops working. Even if I delete the shared folder and then add it again, the guest machine does not recognize it.
Tested on Linux Mint 19.1 host, running VB 6.0.6

Did you re-install the Guest Additions (GAs)? A major Win update requires that I'm afraid...
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

I also experienced this problem.
Uninstalling GA 6.08 and re-installing it solved the issue.
Many thanks :D
