VirtualBox Extension Pack was introduced in Virtualbox as a new way to extend the functionality of the VirtualBox base package.

Using the extension pack doesn't require a separate installation. The packs have a "vbox-extpack" file extension that's automatically handled by VirtualBox. To install it just close down any running Virtual Box instances and double-click on extension pack file and the tool will launch and install it for you, upgrading any earlier version of extension pack you might have.

The current extension pack includes a USB 2.0 (EHCI) controller that allows you to get better performance from your USB 2.0 devices. To use it you'll have to enable the controller by hand and add filters for USB devices that you want to use this controller.

VirtualBox Remote Desktop Protocol (VDRP) support allows you to run a virtual machine on one PC, while you can view and control it from another. Intel PXE boots ROM with support for the E1000 network card allows you to remotely boot a computer trough emulation. Since Version 5.1.x, the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack is also compatible with the new Virtual Box version for Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Features and Highlights
  • Support for USB2.0 and 3.0 devices
  • Virtualbox Remote Desktop Protocol VRDP
  • Host webcam passthrough
  • Virtual hard disk encryption
  • PXE boot for Intel cards
Note: Please install the extension pack with the same version as your installed version of VirtualBox.

What's new in this version:

- GUI: Added latest NLS update for Turkish, Indonesian and Italian languages
- VMSVGA: Improved flickering, black screen and other screen update issues with recent Linux kernels
- NAT: Fixed issue with restoring 7.0.X saved state
- VBoxManage: Fixed breakage of "list vms" and "showvminfo" for inaccessible VMs
- Windows host: Fixed system DLL size checking which failed with Windows 11 24H2 and recent Insider Preview builds
- Linux Guest Additions: Introduce initial support for kernel 6.12 (NOTE: In kernel 6.12, KVM initializes virtualization on module loading by default. This prevents VirtualBox VMs from starting. In order to avoid this, either add "kvm.enable_virt_at_load=0" parameter into kernel command line or unload corresponding kvm_XXX module)
- Linux/Arm Guest Additions: Added possibility to automatically upgrade Guest Additions via Devices menu
- EFI: Added missing LsiLogic MPT SCSI driver again to fix booting from devices attached to this device if the EFI firmware is used (7.1.0 regression)
- EFI: Restored broken network boot support (7.1.0 regression)
