OK here 

Running on kernel 6.6.65-desktop-1
Ran tests with both dkms built kmod only, and with virtualbox-kernel package.

TEST Running MSW 7 64 bit guest: 
On first launch it detected it needed new guest addition - I let it download & update.
Windows update found security updates, I let it update, and rebooted.
Tested dynamic window resizing, USB 2 flash disk, host folder sharing write protected and not, bidirectional clipboard, drag file from Dolphin to Explorer, Internet video in Firefox.

So new install of Virtualbox since rebuild of the OS on this box.

- imported a vbox backup - that worked
- able to load and run the VM
- created a new VM image of Manjaro that worked
- set up extensions 7.0.22 that worked from Oracle website
- able to RDP into the VM.

Working from my perspective.

No installation issues. Ran a Windows 7 guest, updated guest additions with no issues. Also ran a Mageia 9 guest, got updates, no issues there, either.

Another test, this time on an HP Pavilion 15, using a Windows 7 guest that hadn't been run in a while. The guest ran OK, but this time I had to download the guest additions iso and install it manually. That worked OK.

Then I decided to install my two network printers. There were some snags along the way, and it seemed to take FOREVER (compared to Mageia), but I was eventually successful. I'm sure the issues I had were not caused by VirtualBox, but are simply the nature of Windows 7.

Validating.
