[Solved] Shared folders no longer work
After the recent update to Win 10 build 17134, both guest and host, I can't get shared folders to work. In Network and Sharing Center, both guest and host, I have all of the sharing options turned on. I turned on all the checkboxes in the VB Shared Folders settings, but I can't find the shared folders in the guest. I can't figure out what else to do, because that part of the VB manual is based on Win XP.

Re-install VirtualBox on your host. Re-install the Guest Additions on your guest. See if the situation improves.QuarterLessTwain wrote:After the recent update to Win 10 build 17134, both guest and host
Those settings involve Windows-Networking shared folders, not VirtualBox shared folders, they're not the same thing, not even the same idea.QuarterLessTwain wrote:In Network and Sharing Center, both guest and host, I have all of the sharing options turned on.
