Meanwhile, Windows drivers have been refined, and various guest additions have been improved for smoother installation and better integration with Oracle Linux 10<\/a>, RHEL 10<\/a>, and other platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the storage front, the NVMe controller emulation has officially moved into the open-source base package, making it more widely accessible without needing the proprietary extension pack. There\u2019s also a fix for a nasty VMDK corruption issue that could occur during disk resizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The VirtualBox interface has also been reworked. Global and VM tools have been moved out of the somewhat hidden hamburger menus into more accessible toolbars, making them easier to reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Preferences and settings pages have been polished, a new option allows marking shared folders as global for all VMs, and several long-standing usability quirks have been addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond the headline features, there\u2019s a laundry list of fixes covering everything from NAT networking improvements and audio crash resolutions to BIOS and UEFI tweaks for better OS compatibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, ARM users should take note \u2014 saved states from VirtualBox 7.1 aren\u2019t compatible with 7.2, so it\u2019s best to shut down any ARM VMs in a saved state before upgrading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Refer to the\u00a0changelog<\/a> for more information about all the changes in the new version. VirtualBox 7.2 is available from the project\u2019s website\u2019s\u00a0download section<\/a>. After updating, remember to install the latest Extension Pack version, which enhances VirtualBox\u2019s functionality by adding features.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" VirtualBox 7.2 arrives with ARM Windows virtualization, Linux video acceleration, open-source NVMe controller, GUI changes, and broad host\/guest fixes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":183272,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,5],"tags":[4075,1440],"class_list":["post-183233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-software","category-news","tag-virtualbox","tag-virtualization"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183233"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183233\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"VirtualBox](\"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/virtualbox72-app-1024x640.jpg\")
