Hi Everyone
The problem is I'm using VBox on a Windows 10 64-bit host and Windows 10 64-bit on the VM guest machine. When I remote desktop to the host using Anydesk and the guest window(VM) is focused and I use "Block User's Input" on AnyDesk, the user can't use the mouse, but the keyboard is still active, and when I minimize the VM window the keyboard deactivates too.
I want both keyboard and mouse disabled.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
VirtualBox's keyboard will not be disabled when using AnyDesk

Re: VirtualBox's keyboard will not be disabled when using AnyDesk
There are very few keyboard settings in Virtualbox. The virtualized keyboard is a PS/2 keyboard. There is a "vboxmanage modifyvm" command to make the keyboard attach via USB "--keyboard <ps2|usb>" (I've never tried this). I don't know if this will have any influence, and you'd probably have to try the vboxmanage command when the VM is shut down.

Thanks for your reply.scottgus1 wrote:There are very few keyboard settings in Virtualbox. The virtualized keyboard is a PS/2 keyboard.

You mean that if I change the keyboard type (because I am using PS/2 right now) this will be fixed?
I'll try it, thanks

Do you think that it is a bug? and if it is how can I report it so it can get resolved?

Re: VirtualBox's keyboard will not be disabled when using AnyDesk
Could be an unforeseen incompatibility. You can post on the Bugtracker, and you should also let the AnyDesk folks know. They can confer with the devs if they want via IRC: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=103145
