Hello,
I installed a Windows server 2019 VM on VirtualBox. To open it, I have to press ctrl+alt+del but the touch combination is also to quit a vm. I see on the internet, it is necessary Uncheck the option "Auto Capture Keyboard" or Change the option "Pointing Device" to "PS/2 Mouse" but none works
Someone can help me ?
Thanks you

If ctrl+alt+del tells Virtualbox to close your VM, then there's been quite a bit of manual finagling and pebcaking going on by somebody.Netoxa wrote:ctrl+alt+del ... is also to quit a vm
ctrl+alt+del is the Windows/Microsoft overall keyboard system catch combination that takes precedence over all other processes to get control over a runaway PC. It is captured by the host OS always, and it controls the host OS.
To inject ctrl+alt+del into the VM, either use the VM window's Input menu, Keyboard flyout, Insert Ctrl+Alt+Del, or use the keyboard combination HostKey+Del. The Host Key is shown in the VM window's bottom status bar on the right side. The default is Right Ctrl.
Note that if you changed your Host Key to Ctrl+Alt, you won't get the VM to respond to ctrl+alt+del, because that combination is always captured by the host OS, as explained above.
