    v1 v2  
     1The current situation using VirtualBox 6.1.0:
     2- Windows Vista during installation Guest additions 6.1.0, it refused to install the Guest until I installed DirectX 9.
     3- Windows Vista, The VBox Manager refuses to select VBoxSVGA in combination with 3D acceleration. On selecting 3D acceleration it set back the driver to VBoxVGA. It will not allow the combination of 3D acceleration and VBoxSVGA.
     4- Windows 7 Pro, during installation of the Guest, it did give and error message. Following the manual and indicated log, the system seems to miss a module that is part of DirectX 9. I installed DirectX and the error message disappeared and the system seemed to work, till I tried it again this morning. Half the time I still get a garbled display.
     5- Windows 10, since the new transparency the display gets garbled especially in combination with the menu display.
     6- Ubuntu, the error looks different, the distortion is very consistent. The Windows distortion is more unpredictable and sometimes not even there. The Ubuntu distortion is very consistent and always shows up directly after login. I do not have that problem on my i5 laptop with its IGP, it only occurs on my Ryzen 3 2200G with Vega 8 graphics.

     8Some general remarks:
     9- It seems that after adapting VirtualBox to newer Linux versions than 5.0, you introduced a dependency on DirectX, that before never has been there. It might explain your current problems with Windows.
     10- Tomorrow I will introduce an ancient GeForce 8400GS video card in my Ryzen 3 2200G, if the problem disappears, maybe we should start nagging Ubuntu and AMD about their Vega driver.
