I have a number of Windows 10 Guests at different stages of update but they all exhibit an inability to go to fullscreen. When you use the fullscreen command (Host + F) the host machine resizes the window but the Win 10 guest does not. Host + F again restores the system correctly.
Is this a problem with VB or Win 10?
Env Host Windows 7 + SP! fully patched.
VB 4.3.30 plus guest additions
Guest Windows 10 Build 10532 (slow ring)
Windows 10 Build 10547 (fast ring)
Windows 10 TH1 release.
Guests Multiple Windows 7 + SP1 fully patched all respond correctly to Host + F.
To whom should I address the bug report?

Re: Win 10 Fullscreen not working
Full Screen is working for me with Windows 10 guests and VB 5.0.4 and above on Windows, Linux and OSX hosts. Make sure Auto-resize Guest Display is enabled.

Re: Win 10 Fullscreen not working
Thanks for the reply.
I have tried the Auto-resize command without success but cannot find the option you quote "Auto-resize Guest Display".
Where can it be set?
I also note you are running VB 5.0.4, I am still using 4.3.30 while the developers iron out some of the bugs in VB5. Is there a change in the way VB 5 handles screen resizing?

Re: Win 10 Fullscreen not working
AKAIK AFAIK, there is more effort getting Windows 10 guests and hosts working in VB 5.0 at the moment. I haven't haven't used VB 4.* since before the first Windows 10 seed.

AKAIK means what? Google doesn't help.
