What happened?

This is in continuation of the original error report 22168 in the old error reporting system.
https://www.virtualbox.org//ticket/22168
You can find the log file there.

Shared folders do not work with guest additions >= 7.0.22. They simply do not appear in the Explorer in the guest windows system. Need to use old Guest Additions 7.0.22 to have the Shared Folders functionality.

This error was introduced with VBox 7.1.0 in September 2024.
I wonder if this will ever be fixed?!?!

How can we reproduce this?

Install as indicated.
