Ok, sorry. It's the 7.0.12 r159484 (Qt5.15.3), I don't know the version of the Guest additions. Where can I find it ? (I cannot login to the VM)
The host is Kubuntu 22.04 and the guest Windows 10.
I've tried to join the logs, but it's written that the file is too large (even if I compress it)...

Thanks for the info.

Regarding the log, Please 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 in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. In the "Logs" subfolder, zip the VM's "vbox.log", and post the zip file, using the forum's Attachments tab. (Configure your host OS to show all extensions so you can find the "vbox.log", not "vbox.log.1", etc.)

Nothing indicating what you're describing, that's why I asked to get further clues. But keyboard issues are rare in general and rarely visible in the VBox.log files.
