Set Custom Resolution in
VirtualBox for Windows 7/8/8.1/10
Windows
10 doesn’t work with the included VirtualBox display driver, so by default you
are limited to several 4:3 resolutions (full screen). If you want a different
resolution or a widescreen resolution, it requires a command line entry to
enable it. Here’s how:
1.
First, close your virtual machine. Then, navigate to c:Program FilesOracleVirtualBox. Hold
Shift and right click an open area of the window. Select “Open Command Window
Here”. A command prompt window will open in exactly the correct directory to do
the job.
2.
Type VBoxManage.exe setextradata "Your VM Name"
CustomVideoMode1 1366x768x32. You can edit
the name in quotes to your Windows 10 virtual machine name, as well as the
custom resolution (my monitor runs as 1366x768x32). Now Press Enter.
3.Restart your VM, and you can now select from the custom resolution you just enabled.
