Description
I had to downgrade to 6.1.20, which was stable for me.
I suspect it has something to do with video/vmsvga
Machine: HP Envy Pavilion 17t-j186nr Host is windows-10 updated to 19043.985 21H1 Guest is Fedora-Workstation-34 kernel 5.12.6-300, guest additions 6.1.22 is installed
With 6.1.22, If machine is started as hidden, machine can be ssh-ed to and is stable for very long time.
With 6.1.22, If machine is made to be shown, then after GDM login, after starting a terminal app, wezterm, firefox, virtualbox freezes, becomes non-responsive and remains stuck.
It is possible to get mouse cursor, which in stcuk state is invisible, to the bottom, to hover over and bring up the VM-menu, minimize it and then get to the windows host. Other menu commands like reset do not work.
Outside, in the host windows, taskmgr can be used to kill and Virtualbox processes, helps close all virtualbox windows, and start over.
reinstall of 6.1.22 did not help
