Strange Results with Guest Editions on MacOS X

Post by Bio_Hazard1282 »

So, I downloaded the new May 2021 Windows 10 20H1 update, and installed it. It worked fine, then I installed the guest editions.
But now, the Operating System has graphical glitches and such, and it is kind of annoying.

OS: macOS Catalina 10.17
Model: 2017 MacBook Air

Guest OS: Windows 10 21H1 for amd64
VirtualBox version: 6.1.22

I don't care about showing my email address, this is my public support email.
EDIT: I reinstalled Windows twice and the same thing happens.

Please use the forum's Upload Attachment tab to post logs and screenshots.

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.

I just scrapped the VM and I'm currently installing the Insider Preview, since I never had problems with 21375

Okeedoke, very good!

Just to let you know, Insider Previews aren't officially supported. The devs no doubt check on them, but they program for the official releases.
