VBox Guest AddOns 7.2.6
« on: February 13, 2026, 12:33:15 am »
Hello

I updated VirtualBox host (Windows) to version 7.2.6 and updated the extension pack. No issue here, ArcaOS 5.1.1 BIOS keeps booting fine.

But on the guest ArcaOS 5.1.1 I also updated the addons to version 7.2.6.

Now I'm experiencing some issues:
1) The SharedFolder drive is not auto mounting. If I run "vboxcontrol sharedfolder use d: OS2TEMP" (in my case) it will mount.

2)  The worst issue is that the bidirectional Clipboard sharing is no longer working.

Do you suggest something else I may be missing on the configuration?

If someone confirm the same issue here, I will open a ticket.

Using windows7, I had to back on virtualbox to the latest where all works:  7.0.22r165102 (taken from virtualbox archive - older build)
(I know, now win11 only is supported  ;D )

Martin,

  I can confirm those 2 issues you mention happen here too. Gotta go back to 7.2.4.

Thanks David.

I had opened this ticket: https://github.com/VirtualBox/virtualbox/issues/551

If someone else has anything to add I will include it to the ticket. Fell free to include anything else.
