To make sure progress here, could you please also try setting the environment variables
Code: Select all
VBOX_RELEASE_LOG=all.e.l.l2.l3.f
VBOX_RELEASE_LOG_DEST=file=c:\temp\VBoxTray.log
That should also increase the logging verbosity.
Yep, they were already set, so I guess we were already trying to get as many logs as possible.

Your info helped us to fix a bug in VBoxTray.exe logging, thank you.
Could you install the Guest Additions version >= 164641 and repeat the steps to collect VBoxTray.log again?
No worries, I'm just trying to play my part as a user and give back to the community.
Testing new releases and reporting bugs is really the least I can do to support (in a tiny amount) this project.
The real thank you goes to everyone who commits the code and to Oracle for making this awesome program open source, cross platform and freely available to everyone.
Anyway, I saw that the Guest Additions were updated today at 13:14:26 BST in the development snapshot page, so I installed the new version, namely r164641 and I rebooted the guest.
Unfortunately, things got... uhm... worse, but you know what they say "things have to get worse before they get better".
Jokes aside, I have no idea what the new VBoxTray.exe is doing, but whatever it is, it's no longer single threaded with 1 core out of 4 being at 100% resulting in 25% CPU usage, but rather multithreaded with the load being spread across 2 cores and the CPU usage being 50% now in a 4c configuration.

After waiting for a while (around 20 minutes), however, the CPU usage dropped down to 25% once again, thus going back to the old behavior.

Things look interesting for the guest logs this time round as there are more things going on.
