I have setup sharing in VM Machine setting showing Host HDD partition and setup sharing on Host OS.

Vm sharing was setup with VM running. Otherwise I can't see shared folder anywhere in VM(Win11). Also setup sharing in VM Os still not visible.

Help Please.

Log attached.

The posted log does not show installed Guest Additions. If the shared folder was set up in the VM's settings, then Guest Additions is required inside the VM. See the manual, section 4.

Thank you. Will look more.
How do you keep your head from exploding with all of the info?

:lol:

Lots of notes. And I wrote a log file scanner VBscript that looks for certain texts in the log and outputs the lines containing those texts to a Notepad .txt. The line containing "Guest Additions information report:" was MIA.
