VirtualBox 4.3.12, Windows 7 as guest and host OS: host -> guest clipboard not working
I use VirtualBox 4.3.12 r93733.
- Guest OS: Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate
- Host OS: Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate
I installed the VirtualBox Guest Additions and rebooted the guest OS. The host -> guest clipboard is not working, is there any way to fix this issue? Host -> guest clipboard means that I copy something in their keyboard in the host OS and try to paste it in the guest OS.
The guest -> host clipboard works fine. I set the clipboard to be bidirectional:
The VirtualBox Guest Additions are running fine on the guest OS:
I restarted VBoxTray.exe
but it didn't help. I also try giving administrative permission to this process.
Before upgrading VirtualBox (I believe I had 4.3.6) the bidirectional clipboard was working fine.
you need to do one step more, when you start your window 7, you will see menus at top.
click on Devices -> shared Clipboard -> Bidirectional
now you can copy and paste from host to guest or gues to host
