[Solved] VB not running properly after installing GAs

Post by Wifi001314 »

Hello,

I have installed the guest Windows 10 Pro on my iMac today. After installing the GAs, the Windows 10 Pro would freeze after I click on the screen (doesn't matter what I click). For example, if I click on the windows explorer icon, the screen won't show that the explorer is open until I click on something on the host OS and go back to the VB. Attached is the compressed log.

Please take a look and advise.

Thank you for your help!

Ray

Shut down the VM (not pause or saved, completely shut down). Go to the VM Settings » Display » Screen, change the Graphics Controller to "VBoxVGA" from "VBoxSVGA", enable 2D/3D acceleration, take the VRAM to the new max of 256 MB. Start the VM...

PS. For future reference, we don't need all 4 logs, we need the "VBox.log" where/when the problem occurs.

Great, thanks for the feedback. Marking as [Solved].

Also moving from "OSX Hosts" to "Windows Guests", that's where your problem is...
