Windows 10 Menu Not Displaying Properly

Description
When I click the start button my Windows 10 menu is transparent. The Icons show up but none of the menu options that appear next are visible. For instance, when you click the Start button and then the Power icon, no options are visible. But, if I click the up arrow on my keyboard twice and hit enter, the computer shuts down. If I right click on an icon, no options appear. This started with VirtualBox-6.1.28-147628-Win and is still true in VirtualBox-6.1.30-148432-Win.
I installed the latest GuestAddOns and the latest Expansion Pack during setup. There is also a Windows message about the system searching for a Display Driver. I have screen captures of the symptoms but don't know how to attach them to the case. Hopefully someone can help.

If I disable the 3D Acceleration the problem goes away. My laptop display adapter is an NVIDIA Quadro P620.

This isn't related to the graphics card... the root cause is that Microsoft broke transparency with DX9 level graphics drivers (which is the case for the one from VirtualBox Guest Additions at the moment) with Windows 10 2004 IIRC.
We're working on a new 3D implementation, but until then - if you want to get transparency handled correctly then you need to disable 3D (which completely disables transparency, too).
