Dear All

We are seeing the same problem on Windows 10 macine with high resolution screens (4K) and running Ubuntu as VM. The screen and fonts are not scaled and appear as the original screen size.

Regards

Dear all,

I am using VirtualBox 5.1.22 on a Lenovo X1 Carbon 5th generation, which is running KUbuntu 17.04. The screen resolution is 2560x1440.

I have created two virtual machines, one with Win7 and the other with Win10, but neither will adapt to the resolution of the laptop (neither in terms of proportions, nor size), despite having successfully installed the guest additions.

All attempts to condition the VMs have failed. At the end of the installation, the desktop of the VMs appears small and surrounded by a black margin to the right and below. I have tried the File-Environment-Display settings, auto resize guest, using VBoxManage setextradata, etc. but none of these works.

It is possible to increase the resolution a little, but this setting does not persist, and is never in line with the actual resolution. In the Win10 machine, the cursor is also widely misaligned, making it difficult to even change screen definitions etc.

Any thoughts?
