WIndows 10Issue:
I'm trying to get full screen resolution and size in Windows 10 guest on my Mac. The native screen resolution is 2560x1600. I have played around with a lot of settings and some custom video modes, and eventually got to the point where Windows is showing 2560x1600, performance is good, and things seem stable - however, it's only taking up about 75% of my screen in fullscreen mode. That's what I'm trying to resolve at this point.
Current settings:
GA NOT installed (otherwise display is really glitchy when I force it to full resolution - however, it shows stable at 1440x900.)
