Check for updates link

Post by Waslap »

It seems really braindead that you can check for updates and it pops up a window with a download link but on Windows 10 you can neither select and copy that link nor does clicking on it open a web browser with the link. Seems lame unless I'm missing something as you have to retype the link into the URL bar of a browser.

The background of this behavior is a security-related property of the QT dialog. The behavior was corrected in VirtualBox 6.1.16.
