I should clarify that, per the subject line, this occurs whenever the Windows 10 guest is running and the computer "times out" and auto-locks.I get something similar on Virtualbox 5.1.x (various versions, still happens with 5.1.14) running on a Ubuntu 16.10 host, but my guest is Windows 7 64-bit. My hardware is a Lenovo W520 laptop.On Thu, Feb 2, 2017 at 8:50 AM, David White <dmwhite...@gmail.com <mailto:dmwhite...@gmail.com>> wrote:I've had an ongoing issue for quite some time, and I've now seen this issue occur both on Ubuntu 16.04 as well as 16.10 and a Windows 10 Guest. This has happened now on 2 different Asus laptops (including 1 that's brand new), so I feel certain that this isn't a hardware issue (unless it's something specific to an Asus driver or something). Everything works fine, but if I get up from the computer and then come back, say, 30 minutes later, the computer is completely frozen. I can't even do a ctl-alt-f1 to get to the terminal. The ONLY way for me to recover is to do a hard reset. A few weeks ago, this really screwed things up in a big way, and I had to boot to a Ubuntu Live CD image (on a USB drive) in order to run through a ton of manual fsck fixes. This did the trick, but not after I thought my hard drive was toast and had bought a new laptop. (I decided to keep the new one, and hold on to the old one as a spare!) Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I find that if I leave the lock screen in it's frozen state for around 10 minutes and try again I can successfully unlock the session.
I also have the problem where sometimes, if I leave my Windows 7 guest running overnight , or an extended period, then in the morning the entire system is running slow, and only restores its performance if I kill the Virtualbox process in Ubuntu.
