VirtualBox-7.2.1-170359 Still freezes Windows When uninstalling Guest Additions

Post by Simple07 »

I have installed VirtualBox-7.2.1-170359. Initial indications are positive; it seems to be working fine except it still freezes Windows 11 guest when uninstalling Guest Additions.
Notice: If I wait a minute and restart the guest Windows, I find the Guest Additions uninstalled, but if I reset the guest Windows immediately after the freeze, I find the Guest Additions are not fully uninstalled. Which may indicate that only the display frozen, not the whole guest Windows.
I tried manipulating the system settings and changing memory and CPU values, to no avail.

By the way, where is the change log for these Test Build releases?

Why would anyone ever need to uninstall guest additions?
