no full screen for the guest on my laptop with windows 10

Post by harley-peter »

Hi,

I use a windows 10 guest on my laptop with a debian host and after the upgrade to VB 5.0.16 the extension does not expand the guest window to full screen. A Linux guest works fine. Strange: The problem exist only on my laptop. The same configuration on my desktop computer work without a problem. The laptop has an Intel integrated graphics controller.

Did you update the Guest Additions in the Windows 10 guest?

When you go to fullscreen, does the guest window appear in a black letterbox-style border? is it possible to set the guest resolution bigger than the host screen, so the taskbar and right side of the guest fall out of the host screen?

Post the guests log file ( as an attachment ). Right click on the guest in the Main Manager then click show log. Save and post as an attachment. Compress if it is too large to post.

After an upgrade of VBox 5.0.20 I have the problem again. I attach the log file. Maybe someone has a solution.
