Pointer integration

Post by rkb »

I have a Windows 10 VM installed and it seems that pointer integration is not enabled. I get the screen:

The screen shows that to "uncapture" the mouse I have to press the "host" key which is Right Ctrl. I tried pressing the right mouse button in conjunction with the control key The right arrow in conjunction with the control key. Both do not uncapture the mouse (it is restricted to move inside the VM window. The only way I have found to "uncapture" the mouse is to CTRL-ALT-DELETE and then "Cancel". There has to be a better way. Ideas?

Press, then release, the Right Ctrl key (all by itself).
Mouse and keyboard control should then belong to the Host.
Clicking the mouse in the VM window later will capture the mouse and keyboard again.

Could you really not have trimmed that image to get rid of the useless white areas before posting?
