I'm facing a frustrating issue with my virtual machine display. It's constantly cluttered with various system, mouse, and other icons, making it nearly impossible to get any work done. This glitch has persisted through several updates of VirtualBox, Windows, and my GPU drivers. I've attached a screenshot showing just how bad it is—imagine the left edge of my screen completely filled with icons! When the display glitches, hovering over some parts seems to temporarily fix things, but it's unpredictable and driving me crazy. Here are my specs:
Main Machine:
- HP Zbook G10A
- AMD 7840 HS PRO with Radeon 780M
- Nvidia RTX 2000 Ada
- 64 GB RAM
- Windows 11 Pro 24H2 (26100.4061)
VM Specs:
- VirtualBox 7.1.6 r167084
- VirtualBox Extension Pack 7.1.8 r168469
- 24 GB memory
- 6 Cores
- Windows 10 Pro 2009 (19045.5854)

Before making changes, just a gentle reminder to back up your data! Glitches can sometimes lead to data issues, and it’s best to be safe. I’ve had similar screen clutter issues, and going through the VM settings really helped—like checking if 3D acceleration is enabled and making sure transparency is turned off. Good luck!
It sounds like your VM's display settings might be causing this chaos. Have you checked the settings to ensure 3D acceleration is enabled? You can find that option under Display -> Screen -> Extended Features. Additionally, make sure to keep your VirtualBox and Extension Pack updated. Also, are you using any transparency effects in your VM? That could contribute to the glitches too.
