Description
I have Ubuntu Linux 22.10 as a host and VirtualBox version 7.0.2 r154219 (Qt5.15.6).
I craeted a Windows 10 virtual machine. Windows 10 in virtual machine are fully updated. I also have installed Microsoft Office 2013.
When I run MS Word 2013 and have latest Guest Additions installed, this application runs, but the application window is black. I can right-click on the area of the application window and can get some menus open, but that is all. I can not see anything. The same is with MS Excel 2013.
If I uninstall Guest Additions, MS Word opens normally and the content of the application window is normally visible (the same with Excel). So it seems that Guest Additions are somehow affecting those two applications.
I have tested some other applications (Firefox, Chrome, Adobe Reader, Malwarebytes,...) and those work normally.
Also, I thought that the problem is with Microsoft Office 2013, so I run the installer and select Repair installation. Repair was not successful, because installed said that LYNC.LYNCDESKTOPRESOUR.DLL.x64.1033 cannot be installed. I don't know if this is somehow connected, but I believe it is worth mentioning.
