Lost widescreen resolution after Windows 10 update

I run headless VB (Windows 10) on ubuntu 16.04.1.
And use Remmina to connect to it.
Today after Windows 10 anniversary update I lost widescreen ability and wondering if other people saw this and if there is any fix for it.
Thx

Wild guess: did you update the Guest Additions? Does it also happen in "normal" mode?
- Start the VM. Not from a saved or suspended state. Clean start. Log in.
- Shut down the VM. Not suspended, not paused. Shut down.
- Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager. Select "Show Log..."
- Save it (just the first log), ZIP it and attach it in your response (see the "Upload attachment" at the bottom of the form).

A Windows 10 guest will sometimes (for some unknown reason) decide not to display at the usual screen dimensions (mine did after the last Windows 10 upgrade). I have also seen this problem when you resize the screen and the desktop does not expand to fill the new window.
If a reboot doesn't fix it, go to the display settings in the Windows 10 guest and manually select the higher value setting.
