copy - paste between Windows 10 host and Windows10 VM does not work

Post by Support-Jaap »

Host : Windows 10 ( with latest patches )
VM : Windows 10 ( with latest patches )
VB : 7.0.10
Guest addition ( 7.0.10 ) are installed.

The clipboard on the host is not synchronized with the clipboard on the VM
settings for shared clipboard and drop-and-drag are both on BI-Directional.

in log :
00:00:54.542195 VMMDev: Guest Log: LA: RegQueryValueExW: failed [SOFTWARE\Oracle\VirtualBox Guest Additions/VBoxTrayLog]
00:00:54.542311 VMMDev: Guest Log: LA: RegQueryValueExW: failed [SOFTWARE\Oracle\VirtualBox Guest Additions/VBoxTrayLA]

Thanks for the log. Guest Additions 7.0.10 matching the host Virtualbox version are installed, and all services including shared clipboard and drag-n-drop are started:
00:00:54.549846 VMMDev: Guest Log: All services started
...
00:01:21.286573 VMMDev: Guest Log: 07:56:48.729582 control Guest control service stopped
...
00:01:27.213471 VMMDev: Guest requests the VM to be turned off
00:01:27.213513 Changing the VM state from 'RUNNING' to 'POWERING_OFF'
Between the loading of services and shutting down the VM is 27 seconds with no mention of any clipboard or DnD activity. Did you try either of these during the time that the desktop was up and usable to when you shut down the VM?
