wrong net speed values in Windows 8.1 task manager

Post by Comrad »

Hello!
My env:
Windows 8.1 64bit with latest updates
VirtualBox the latest version for now: VirtualBox-4.3.22-98236-Win
The same ext pack.

Windows task manager always shows zeros for all apps in the network coloumn.
When I disable vbox bridged driver - the problem disappears, enable - returns again.
Here's the video:

Anyone can help?

What is there to say? Unless someone else had the same problem, what can we say?

I'm sure many people have the same problem.
I saw such posts on Windows related forums.
I want someone of developers read this topic and fix the problem.

Without a log file and a support contract? You have no right to expect the devs to be interested.

I'm just asking if somebody has the same problem and how to fix it (or this is a global VB problem, which doesn't have a solution for now).
I think this forum is for questions and answers, right?

Sure, but then you complained about the lack of answers, which itself creates a new topic for discussion.

As Bill said, unless someone else comes along who has your symptoms, and cares about them, and has something useful to say about the matter.. then I wouldn't be surprised if traffic is slow.

Personally, I'll only mention that running automated benchmarks inside a VM is fraught with problems (i.e. because all the actual work is done in the hosts CPU time), and mostly pointless.
