Hi, I am running Manjaro (4.17.3 Kernel) on a Thinkpad p51 with a 4K panel.
I am trying to run Windows 10 from a second m.2 drive via a .vmdk.
After installing the guest additions the guest screen only takes up 1/4 of the the vm-window (see picture) the mouse behaves like the screen would be displayed properly i.e. I need to click in the very lower left corner in order to access the start menu.
I browsed around and tried to find a solution for the last two days but I didn't get anywhere

Re: Windows 10 occupies 1/4th of the screen
Try not going full-screen. See if that helps. And try to match your HiDPI settings with that of your guest.
For future reference, next time please downsize your attached images by 50% (at least), or simply change the DPI to 72. Not everyone is blessed with a HiDPI display
