[Resolved] Shared Folders unavailable after update to 1903

Post by fearless_fool »

I just allowed Windows to update my guest OS to V 1903. Now my shared folders are no longer visible. I'm sure it's simple, but: suggestions?

VirtualBox still shows my shared folders in the Shared Folders panel -- they're all Full Access and Auto Mount. But they don't appear in the Windows File Explorer (or anywhere else, AFAIK).

Thanks in advance.
