Cannot change Virtual Screen from Host screen 1 to 2 in Fullscreen mode

Reported by: Anh Le Owned by:
Component: other Version: VirtualBox 5.1.14
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: Windows Host type: Windows

Description

Host: Windows 10 Pro x64 with 2 monitors

Guest: Windows 7 Pro x64

When in Full-screen mode, I used to be able to change from monitor 1 to monitor 2 and vice versa by going to View > Virtual Screen 1 > Use Host Screen 1/Use Host Screen 2.

I believe since v5.1.12, I have to complete the previous step, exit reenter the Full-screen mode to switch the guest display to the other monitor.

Change History (3)

Here too. I can't switched the screen. The Full screen is always on the primary windows monitor.

virtualbox v5.1.14

Think this happens afer a windows 10 update. Maybe 1607

I have just discovered on my Windows 10 with Version 5.1.28 r117968 (Qt5.6.2) that the 'auto hide taskbar' setting affects how the fullscreen mode works.

  • With autohide on, I do not see the "View -> Virtual Screen X" menu item and fullscreen only appears on display 1.
  • With autohide off, I get access to the "View -> Virtual Screen X" menu item and I can move fullscreen to display 2

Are you talking about the Mini ToolBar in VM settings > User Interface or the Auto hide taskbar on the Windows 10 host machine?
