Question How do I change resolution in virtualbox?

[Ian_64]

I've set up a windows 10 virtual machine but it's stuck in weird 4:3 resolutions. How do I change it to something in 16:9?

Install the VirtualBox Guest Additions: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36500_01/E36502/html/qs-guest-additions.html

This will also enable a bunch of other things you can do with the VM.

LOL. I mean, literally, it's in the actual user manual. So, IDK. If that isn't easy enough for anybody, IDK what to say.

this doesn't work for some reason. I click insert guest additions CD image and nothing happens

So, first of all 4:3 and 16:9 are not resolutions. They are aspect ratios, which are a result of which resolution is in use. Can you tell us what actual resolution it IS using?
