The one common factor I have noticed is that I have to try to drag and drop a file in to my guest VM from the host.
I run Virtualbox 5.1.18r114002 (according to vboxmanage -v) under my normal (non-admin) user account, and have stumbled across a bug that makes me unable to use any VMs or launch Virtualbox until I reboot. I will detail the cause I have identified here. I think I have the same issue as OP, which seems to have multiple causes. Relevant because it involves dragging and dropping, albeit with text, not files. However, doing this does not solve the issue I am about to describe. Relevant because if I disable the host only network connection, I can kill vboxsvc.exe without using "taskkill /F /IM vboxsvc.exe" in an admin command prompt - I can just kill it via task manager. Relevant because mentioned drag and drop sharing does not work, although clipboard sharing of text data (have not tried files, just text data, usually links) has worked just fine for me to and from (in bidirectional mode on) my XP SP3 guest. Here are some bug reports that seem relevant (none of the 47 appear to match my specific problem): Well, it seems my 24 hours are up, so here is my writeup.
