Black screen around Virtualbox VM in fullscreen mode (Guest additions installed)
I installed Windows 10 on a virtual machine, and everything is working fine. But when I go into fullscreen mode, the size doesn't change, and I get a black screen around the display. Some people suggested that I install the guest additions, so I did. I downloaded the file and inserted it. This did not change anything. I still get a black screen around the VM. How can I fix this?

This appears to be a Windows issue based on the subject being a Windows VM and not Ubuntu. This is offtopic. (Likely why you got a down vote).

@ItachiSama That's not a productive thing to do - I suggest you don't do that in future as there is no need for people to explain why they chose to down vote.

The guest additions cd needs installed within the client. You can do this from the client toolbar. Devices -> Insert guest additions CD image...
That will mount the guest additions cd image. Click on it to run it. Let it install. It will then reboot the guest operating system. When the guest restarts and you log back in you will be able to go full screen and the resolution will adjust automatically. You can scale the window whatever way you want by dragging the corners of guest window and it will auto adjust to whatever that resolution is.

At first I found the display to appear slightly 'soft'. After checking the vm display settings I notice that the scale value was 101%. After correcting this to 100% I now have a good sharp display

It happened to me after a windows update, when Guest Additions was already installed. Going out of an into full screen mode again (right-ctrl + f, right-ctrl + f) solved the problem (more or less what is in the second paragraph, but without mouse).

Thanks, it worked. Unfortunately, the highest resolution available is 1600x1200. Also, in that resolution, my mouse doesn't go above a certain level. Is there anyway to add a custom resolution? And is there anyway to fix this mouse problem?
– Rahul Mukherji
Mar 6 '16 at 12:57
Check which monitor is being emulated by guest additions. The 1600x1200 might be limitation of the additions. Check if there are additions for hi-res displays.

I had a similar problem and did the following (with the Windows 10 VM stopped):
- In the manager right-click and choose
settingsfor the Windows 10 VM - Click on
User-Interfaceoptions, at the bottom - Un-check/disable the option
Show in Full-Screen/Seamless
This seemed too easy to possibly fix it, but it worked for me! No more black anomalies and such!

Thank you Rahul for coming back with the correct answer. I had the same problem, and like you, already had guest additions installed. Upvote for you for solving your own problem (and mine). Downvote for those who confidently suggested you should install guest additions despite your question stating that you already had done so.

I had a similar problem and did the following (with the Windows 10 VM stopped):
- In the manager right-click and choose
settingsfor the Windows 10 VM - Click on
User-Interfaceoptions, at the bottom - Un-check/disable the option
Show in Full-Screen/Seamless
This seemed too easy to possibly fix it, but it worked for me! No more black anomalies and such!

Thank you Rahul for coming back with the correct answer. I had the same problem, and like you, already had guest additions installed. Upvote for you for solving your own problem (and mine). Downvote for those who confidently suggested you should install guest additions despite your question stating that you already had done so.

Why did I get a -1? I am willing to improve the question if necessary.

I just gave you a +1 since people -1 without explaining why, and I am also interested in knowing the answer.

This appears to be a Windows issue based on the subject being a Windows VM and not Ubuntu. This is offtopic. (Likely why you got a down vote).

@ItachiSama That's not a productive thing to do - I suggest you don't do that in future as there is no need for people to explain why they chose to down vote.
