WebEx screen sharing with Windows 10 host causes guest to crash and out of memory error.

Description
When sharing a screen with Cisco WebEx while running a VirtualBox guest, the guest eventually crashes. The host (Windows 10) complains about running low on memory, and the screen (or both screens) flicker or go blank. Sometimes the host is usable after this but oftentimes it must be rebooted to become functional again.
The issue appears to be related to 3D acceleration. When 2D/3D acceleration is disabled for the Linux guest, the issue goes away.

I tested with version "5.1.51 r114298 (Qt5.6.2)" and the screen stop flicker, but Google Chrome and Visual Studio Code still doesn't work with "3D acceleration" enabled. All UI become black.
