I have been fighting scaling issues with my Mac using Virtualbox with a Windows 10 VM. I download the latest version of Virtualbox (6.0.8) it doesn't matter what Display settings I change, it is blurry and everything moves SO SLOW!
Also, something strange. I do not have the 'Use Unscaled HiDPI Output' option that all of these online forums say has to be checked for the Retina screens to work correctly. I downloaded the older version (5.2.30) and I now have the 'Use Unscaled HiDPI Output' option. I checked that box but I am still having all of the scaling issues I was having before except when the resolution is set to 1920x1080. At that resolution, everything works perfect but it is a small box and it is impossible to use everyday. If I try scaling the size or changing the resolution, I am back at square one with all of the scaling issues.I have a MacBook Pro (late 2018) brand new.I have the same issues with a Ubuntu VM.Also, I have tried every combination with the 3D and 2D Acceleration and installed the 'Guest Additions CD image' with no luck.I have tested with VMWare Fusion and everything works fine.I would like to see if there is anyone else experiencing these same issues and if you came to a resolution. This is driving me insane!.
You can force boot in safe mode by using msconfig:Click on Start, then Run.In the Run dialog box, type msconfig and press Enter.The msconfig utility will now launch.Click on the Boot tab. Among the checkboxes at the bottom under Boot Options, click the checkbox next to Safe boot and select Minimal (if you really need network access while you are in safe mode you can select Network instead). Click OK.Reboot the guest, and it will boot into safe mode. Once you have completed the installation, you need to reopen msconfig as above and uncheck Safe boot, to boot next into normal mode.
