Can't seem to get sticky keys working

I have a windows 10 host and a windows 7 guest.

I launched the guest and pressed host key and then capture but when I try to press shift 5 times the host responds and not the guest.
Anyone got any tips?

This combination maybe (most probably) get intercepted by the host, before VirtualBox has a chance to get it. Not that much you can do about it, unless you can change the key-combo...

It's not getting Ctrl+alt+del either. Shame. Thanks for the fast response anyway

Of course it won't! There are some keys reserved for the host. You definitely don't want your guest to capture everything, crash and bring your host down as well, do you?

There is a special key combination to direct an Alt+Ctrl+Del to the guest; HostKey+Del. Or find it in the menu Input » Keyboard.
