VBoxtray and VBoxservice sometimes block windows 7 guest responsiveness

Description
Since this fall my windows 7-64 guest occasionally stops responding to mic, mouse, and keyboard input and seems to hang. This typically happens when the host and guest interact, as in a drag-and-drop, or when two windows programs that both interact with the host seem to tangle (e.g. word and dragon naturally speaking). In fact the guest is not hung, as it's fully responsive to sending the ctrl-alt-delete signal and starting the task manager--which shows the same minimal responsiveness. I've "solved" the problem using VBoxManager guestcontrol to taskkill vboxtray or vboxservice, which I then restart inside the guest. Host: Linux Mint17.3x64 KDE fully patched, kernel 4.4.39
