Keyboard/Mouse gone after sleep

[loukingjr]

I don't know if a Windows 7 guest can sleep.

Most definitely!!
I turn off screen saver as starting point and get more aggressive as windows hoses things further.

What I meant was, I can't force it to sleep.

I set the power saver setting in W7 which put it to sleep after 5 mins. (supposedly). It had no effect on the Mac host at all. I'm done trying to recreate this issue.

The issue I have which this may have described, is that a guest CENT OS, never wakes up after it times out (goes to sleep). The main operating system is fine - just the guest won't work. The console becomes inoperative. Clicking inside the window does nothing. Pressing keys does nothing. I'm running CENT OS version 7.2.1511 as guest, host is OS X Yosemite, and Virtual Box version is 5.0.6 r103037.

Other issues: cut-and-paste doesn't seem to work.

Best,
