Hello
I updated VirtualBox host (Windows) to version 7.2.6 and updated the extension pack. No issue here, ArcaOS 5.1.1 BIOS keeps booting fine.
But on the guest ArcaOS 5.1.1 I also updated the addons to version 7.2.6.
Now I'm experiencing some issues:
1) The SharedFolder drive is not auto mounting. If I run "vboxcontrol sharedfolder use d: OS2TEMP" (in my case) it will mount.
2) The worst issue is that the bidirectional Clipboard sharing is no longer working.
Do you suggest something else I may be missing on the configuration?
If someone confirm the same issue here, I will open a ticket.
Regards

Using windows7, I had to back on virtualbox to the latest where all works: 7.0.22r165102 (taken from virtualbox archive - older build)
(I know, now win11 only is supported ;D )

Martin,
I can confirm those 2 issues you mention happen here too. Gotta go back to 7.2.4.
