#18036 new defect
MachineTools toolbar buttons disappear after starting VM from Windows Explorer
| Reported by: | mf86a | Owned by: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Component: | VM control | Version: | VirtualBox 5.2.18 |
| Keywords: | Cc: | ||
| Guest type: | all | Host type: | Windows |
Description
Normally in the VM VirtualBox Manager (VirtualBox.exe) I have the Machine Tools toolbar showing both Details and Snapshots. However if I run a VM by double-clicking the .vbox file in Windows Explorer when VirtualBox.exe is not running, next time I run VirtualBox.exe those buttons are not showing on the toolbar. In particular, before I have in VirtualBox.xml
<ExtraDataItem name="GUI/Toolbar/MachineTools/Order" value="Details,Snapshots"/>
but after, I have
<ExtraDataItem name="GUI/Toolbar/MachineTools/Order" value="None"/>

I can't say that I've seen this reported previously, and Win7 is a really popular host. I have one too, in theory, but in practice it's broken, it needs a new MoBo, so I can't really test it right now.
Generally speaking, it's usually better and faster, if issues get first addressed in the VirtualBox forums, a lot more eyes there. More than 95% of the issues are resolved over there, which keeps the developers focusing on the bug fixes and enhancements.
So, if you can, please open a new thread in the VirtualBox on Windows Hosts section of the forums. Please be sure to mention that you came from the bug tracker and include the ticket number.

You left the "Host type" as "Other", but from your description it sounds like the host is Windows. Windows what?
