Hi everyone,
happy to be in the community.
When i press alt+tab in guest machine the system jumps in host machine.
How can i do to set up virtualbox to remain in guest machine?
in the past alt+tab alwais remains in guest machine.
i use virtualbox from many years.
host and guest are Windows 10 professional with all updates.
Virtualbox is 6.1.14 r140239 (Qt5.6.2) version.
Thank you in advance.

Re: ALT + TAB in guest
A VM can't capture any keystrokes that the host OS designates as for system use only - this is one of the compromises dictated by being a VM (or an RDP client for that matter). You can use the Input|Keyboard... menu item to simulate several special keystroke messages.

Using Windows 10 Professional (2004 with last updates October 2nd) as guest and as host, Alt-Tab works for me inside the guest as expected.
Re: ALT + TAB in guest
i solve the problem.
In Input > Keyboard > Keyboard Settings i check the "Auto Capture Keyboard" setting and now Alt+Tab remains into the virtual machine.
Thank you all again.
