Running XP on VirtualBox on Win10 with a high DPI screen

Post by HughJarce »

Since buying my new Win10 laptop with a high DPI screen, XP doesn't display properly in VirtualBox any more. This was never an issue with my old laptop that didn't have a high DPI screen.

Both Win10 (updated Tues 13 Oct) and VirtualBox (updated Fri 16 Oct) are up to date and I have the most recent version of the VB Extension Pack installed (installed Fri 16 Oct).
I also updated my graphics drivers today (Fri 16 Oct).

All the icons and text in XP look blurry/slightly pixelated. ClearType is enabled in XP.

I've tried enabling high DPI override for VB, but that makes no difference for XP.

Does anyone know of a fix?
