Hi to all,
I'm testing ReactOS 0.4.13 on VirtualBox 6.1.6 r137129 (Qt5.6.2) installed on Windows 10 machine.

Installation and configuration goes fine but after restarting, React OS ask for Ctrl+Alt+Del, I tried Host+Del from keyboard then I tried to inject the combination from Insert-> Keyboard -> Inject Ctrl+Alt+Del, than also with the screen keyboard. Nothing... the logon doesn't appear. Keyboard seems recognized correctly.

Any solution/suggestion, please?

Kind regards

Well, I can't reproduce this. I just downloaded and installed ReactOS 0.4.13, and injecting Ctrl+Alt+Del works just fine: and a good thing too, as ReactOS locked up completely at one point. Even so, my response to ReactOS is more positive than it has been in the past. Usually my experiments with ReactOS only last a few minutes, but this time I installed the OS, then the VirtualBox Guest Additions, and then the "Atom/x86" version of the Pale Moon browser, all with no problem.

For some reason I'm running with VESA graphics only (VBoxVGA was selected in settings), I guess the GAs aren't convinced that this is really XP/Win2K3.

p.s. When ReactOS locked up I found that injecting Ctrl+Alt+Del did cause the login options dialog to appear and I could choose task manager, but all attempts to recover from the lockup failed: I had to power off the VM and restart it.

Impressive that Pale Moon worked.
