Hi. I use Windows 10 (latest updates) as host an guest.

Sometimes the "VirtualBox Graphics Driver for Windows 8" in the device manager is showing an exclamation mark, sometimes the screen freezes completly.

Here is the log after the freeze.

I see this in the log :-
VBox.log wrote: 00:00:09.104285 VMMDev: Guest Log: VBoxMP::VBoxMpCrCtlConInit: VBoxMpCrCtlConConnectHgcm failed with rc(0), 3D not supported!
00:00:09.104347 VMMDev: Guest Log: VBoxMP::DriverEntry: 3D is NOT supported by the host, falling back to display-only mode..
Do you still get problems if you disable 3D acceleration? (shut down the VM before making changes).

-This happens when 3d acceleration is off.

-This happens when 3d acceleration is on.


Read somewhere here in the forums to:
first enable 3d
-install guest-addons
-reboot the vm
-shutdown vm
-turn 3d acceleration off
-start vm.

I did this and will report back if there is any crash. -thanks.

//edit: after a while i had another crash or complete freeze :/
