Guest: Windows 11 Pro
VirtualBox 7.0.10, with Guest Additions
This is a new install of Virtualbox on a new computer. I copied my old virtual machine over from the old computer and had issues with the shared folders being read only. So in testing I made a completely new virtual machine from an Windows ISO install and still have the same issue.
I'm adding a shared folder and not selecting the "read only" checkbox, but when it mounts in Windows, all files and folders are read only. I've put some logs and a screenshot below. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there anything else I can check to see what could possibly be happening here? Is this a known issue? I've not been able to find anything about this searching the forums or the internet as a whole.
Logs from the virtual machine show that it mounts as writable:
