Hi,

are you sure that Qemu is up and running inside the VM?
You can check for the QEMU service using CLI e.g:

PowerShell:
Code:
Get-Service -Name QEMU-GA
CMD
Code:
sc query QEMU-GA

Oh god, does it need to be turned on... It definitely isn't on either VM. That doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere relevant *sigh*... I need to find another career.

Enabled and started the service in my Linux VMs, now shuts down properly.
