Problems with Windows Guest Additions on Win 10 64bit - VM crashes after Installation

Description
After Windows Guest Additions are installed, the Windows 10 Guest (Running on Debian Buster with backports) freezes to black screen, also after longer time the state is unchanged. After the forced shutdown after new restart the VM then crashes. I had this issue also with the VirtualBox 6.1.10, seems to be related to some Debian library update. The only help is to reboot the VM, hold F8 to start Windows emergency menu, then activate the safe mode and in safe mode to deinstall the Virtual Guest additions. Then the Guest runs OK again, unfortunatelly with all drawbacks of the Windows Guest without Guest Additions, so especially with resolution 1024x708. See the Guest after the freeze with session information opened on screenshot in attached screenshot in file

The problem was in incompatible library libc and others, which were used more advanced, than from the current stable version of Debian (from testing, not even from backports). After downgrade to the latest stable versions the problem seems to be disappeared.
I think, the ticket can be closed.
