Something very suspicious going on in Windows VM since upgrade to 13.5

13.5 seems very stable although it does still start up with a plethora of really arcane error messages.  eg:

"you are running this vm with side panels mitigations enabled" serial0:

Parameter "serial0.fileType" has an invalid value "thinprint".

 

 

However, the windows start button still doesn't work (it just makes the windows logo in the lower left corner of the screen disappear)  so I cant actually shut down windows from within the  VM,      and neither does the keyboard when I try, for example, to type in to the white window just to the right of that start button.

But sharing (which didn't work in this VM before upgrading to 13.5) seems enabled on far too much, - so much so that I cant actually run windows explorer on the drive any more. Every instance I try to run gives me only the files on the host! In fact even the VM's desktop shows the files on the host's desktop! I have never seen this before??

So I tried installing Photoshop Elements for windows in the VM: which is quite a large program, (at around 1.5GB compresssed0

Install then tells me it is going to extract its installation files to some temporary subdirectory it will make (obviously) on the host, and then fails immediately with the error message that there is not enough space in the VM to extract!

There are around 10 GB of space on the host as well as 17GB of space in the VM!
