guest additions 6.1.20 messes up windows 10 guest desktop (Ubuntu 20.04.2 host)

Reported by: eelstrebor Owned by:
Component: guest additions Version: VirtualBox 6.1.20
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: Windows Host type: Linux

Description

It's the same issue as with guest additions 6.1.18. Very slow launching of apps or apps not showing up at all. When trying to shut down or reboot, the power icon won't display shutdown or reboot or suspend - I have to execute shutdown from the CLI. When trying to uninstall guest additions from the win10 gui, it fails - I have to get to a command prompt (takes a few minutes to get the prompt) and run uninst.exe from the guest additions directory.

Screenshots are helpful, but (as the instructions say when you create a ticket using https://www.virtualbox.org/newticket) for us VBox.log is at least equally important. Otherwise we have extremely little chance to guess how your VM is configured.

Also, which Windows 10 build are you using? Microsoft is making big changes all the time...

Inside the Windows 10 guest, disable transparency effects (Settings > Personalize > Colors > Transparency effects or Settings > Ease of Access > Display > Simplify and personalize Windows > Show transparency in Windows). This should solve your problems with the Windows Start menu.

Which of your other problems persist?
