17052	Windows Guest hangs when accessing shared folder	amk12		"On my Arch Linux Host I have shared my home directory with my Windows 7 Guest. When accessing the share in Windows, it can happen that a I/O operation blocks and never finishes. This happens when browsing directories in the Windows Explorer, or when saving a document on the share, or any other I/O operation on the shared folder. I can reproduce this quite easily, e.g. when I browse a folder with a deep directory structure.

When this happens, Windows continues work, but any subsequent access to the share folder will instantly block and never return. Windows cannot shut down in this case, I have to hard reset the VM.

Any help is appreciated."	defect	closed	other	VirtualBox 5.1.26	duplicate			Windows	Linux
