What happened?

When i created a Windows 11 x64 VM using the default specs (Expect i used 8GB of RAM), but just gives a blank screen, it doesn't even post. The only way to use the VM is to change to the VMSVGA, but then once Virtualbox Guest Additions is installed, the screen resolution won't fit my window, even when I deselect Auto-resize guest display and select it again won't fit.
The bug:

How can we reproduce this?

Well, Virtualbox is supposed to run on lots of devices and it can't work perfect on all of them. So, if this issue can't be replicated on Virtualbox testing computers. In the guest additions add a part where if VMSVGA on Windows 11 is detected, that it installs the correct driver for now.

Did you upload all of your necessary log files, screenshots, etc.?

  • Yes, I've uploaded all pertinent files to this issue.
