Unable to access shared folders after Win7 to Win10 upgrade

I upgraded my Win 7 guest to Win 10 on Fedora 21 host. I am now unable to see shared folders from the host and some usb things don't work. I have old guest additions, but I cannot find the guest additions for 5.0.22 for Windows 10 guests. Is it not supported? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

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.

First you should change the guest to Windows 10 in the settings.
As for the guest additions you should be able to mount them by using the device tab at the top and selecting insert the guest additions. Then start the install manually from the guest. As for the USB you will need to explain this better. Some work and some don't is just too little to go on.
I do know that your user name must be in the vboxusers group of the host for USB => 2 ( don't forget to reboot for permissions to change )
