- Hey guy's R4GE VipeRzZ here and today I'm going to show you how you can change the screen resolution of Windows 11, when running it as a virtual machine with VirtualBox. This will fix the issue of screen resolution been greyed out in Windows 11 when running in VirtualBox.
To do this we will need to install the VirtualBox guest additions so that VirtualBox can change the screen resoultion of Windows 11.
I appreciate that this is straightforward and to the point. Thank you!

Can you do the same fbut for a linux distro?
Thanks!

To all the guys with the options still greyed out: update your VirtualBox installation to at least version 7.0, upgrade your VM VirtualBox Extension Pack to 7.0 too and the update the guest additions on your virtual machine: everything will be selectable after the updates ;)
Thank you posting the information Scandisk.
THANKS!!!!
No problem, happy to help.
I don't have that files, why?
absolute fucking legend!
Followed instructions pressed restart after instal and now it wont boot into windows
Thx
No problem, glad I could help.
does not load up after this. broke my VM. windows ran automatic repair.
Unfort this does not seem to work. Followed all steps and even repeated the video. When I click display settings in the guest I only have two options 1024x768 and 800x600. When I got to view and down to the virtual screen 1 I have all the options but if I click on 1920x1080 nothing changes.
Apologies for the late reply, first thing I would try is clicking on your VM in the VM list of VirtualBox, then click settings, then inside settings click on the thirds option named display, then check the box that says Enable 3D acceleration and then increase the video memory slider at the top all the way to the right, then click OK to save the settings changes. Then restart the VM to see if that fixes your problem.
Also I have found that you some times have to install the gest additons again after doing Windows updates on the guest OS.
If that doesn't work you can also manually force a change a resolution for the VM using the command line / CMD. To do this if you're host system is Windows based you need to search for CMD in the search bar, then right click and run it as administrator, then you need to run the following commands, "cd C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox" this command should navigate you to VirtualBoxes directory, then you need to run the following command with the name of the VM than you want to change and the resolution that you want to set, "VBoxManage controlvm "VM NAME" setvideomodehint HORIZONTAL VALUE VERTICAL VALUE 32", so for me if I wanted to change my VM to 4K resolution then the command would be as follows, "VBoxManage controlvm "Windows 11" setvideomodehint 3840 2160 32". Once you run the command it should then update the resolution of the VM, now just to reiterate you run these commands on the host OS and not within the VM.
@@R4GEVipeRzZ Oh goodness thank you for your reply. I should have been clearer. I have learned not to write a book as most people don't reply lol. I'll go over what I think my relevant settings are to the issue for you. I am on MX Linux I have a winpro 11 VM I am trying to get rid of my windows disk and use it for Linux. So I would like to migrate my workflow to the VM since I can make clones easily and safely restore it if something goes wrong. My job requires using the snagIt program which no matter what I do I can't get it to work on linux even with the crossover program. I am on a dell xps 8940 host.

@@R4GEVipeRzZ THANK YOU. I was pulling my hair out with all the videos saying to just install the guest additions...this solved it for me.
@@Zen_Monkey Great to hear Cameron, glad I could help.
Damn. Already did this. I have a selection of resolutions available now, but can't find the 4k resolution.
yea for real lets get 4k
Did not work. Installed it, rebooted and it is still grayed out
I'm sorry to hear it didn't work for you.
how do you know these all?
Usually it is from reading forums and playing about with things.
who told you this
what about FreeBSD? which script should i run in the CDROM?
Hey @R4GE VipeRzZ Can you help me out to find the guest addition for windows 11 virtual machine ?
