Garmin Connect Driver and Sht Windows 10 in VirtualBox

I have a Garmin ForeRunner 945 sport watch. I like it worked everything fine until I had an idea to leave Windows for Linux. I become a happy Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.2 User.

Of course Garmin has no official Express for Linux but I installed a VirtualBox with Windows. I think this should work I would like to sync a weekly in OS, maybe software update etc..., not just phone.

But as other guys on the Internet I met the followings "Garmin Express not working in Windows 10/VirtualBox" :(

I spent two weeks to find a solution in a random forum:

"

To install the Media Feature Pack, navigate to Settings > Apps > Apps and Features > Optional Features > Add a Feature and find the Media Feature Pack in the list of available Optional Features

"

grrrrr, I was angry and happy...
