Win 10 resolution and it is slow...

Post by T-Bone »

Hi guys,

I have a problem with Virtualbox 6 on Mojave and Windows 10 guest.

I have a MBP 13"
I use Scaling factor 200% (because with 100% the fonts are to small because of retina.
But sometimes, I use a 27" external screen. Now, 200% scaling factor is too big and 100% is good.
But I do not want to switch manually every time
Is there a way to deactivate HIDPI? In Virtualbox 5.x is was possible and worked fin for me.

And the second problem after updating to Virtualbox 6...my Win 10 64bit works slow.
What can I do to make it faster?
I don't change any settings...

thanks in advance.

If you used a scaling factor from the VM Settings, you need to undo it, by giving the command:
  • 
    VBoxManage setextradata "<VMname>" "GUI/ScaleFactor"
Then you need to go to the VirtualBox Preferences » Display, and set the ScaleFactor per monitor.

That may also fix the slowness. If not open a new thread and post a ZIPPED VBox.log.
 Edit: Fixed incorrect command line.

Sorry, my bad, still not ... fully connected. :?
The correct command is (which I also corrected in my previous post):
  • 
    VBoxManage setextradata "<VMname>" "GUI/ScaleFactor"
where <VMname> is the actual name of your VM.

OK I got it!

I use "VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/ScaleFactor"
and "VBoxManage setextradata Windows10 GUI/ScaleFactor"
To reset the settings.

And than I go to the VB Settings and set scaling factor for the two screens.
For the external monitor 100% and for the retina MBP screen 200%.

With external screen the performance is good.

But when I disconnected the external screen and use only the macbook retina screen, I don't became 200% scaling. In settings with started VM, I see 100% and not 200%.
So I got very small fonts and icons and poor performance.

What can I do?

Wait until all the weird, corner cases are fixed. This is a new feature in 6.x and it does have some weird issues. I tend to avoid moving VMs from one place to the other because of such issues.

I'm sure they'll be fixed in time...
