I'm running Windows 10 inside VirtualBox 5.1.18 on OS X 10.11.6 and after installing Guest Additions to enable bidirectional c/p the screen resolution has shrank to 800x600 and I managed to increase it to 1024x768. Even though it brings some memories of the times when I was young and restless it won't allow me to do any serious work in Visual Studio.
First time I installed them trough virtual CD-ROM and second time manually by downloading the right version from the official page.
How to fix it?
Thank you in advance.
I do lots of research on net but I couldn't find any solution to my problem.
My host machine is Fedora 25 and I have two guest OS (Kali Linux and Windows 10). Both in my guest OSs every shortcut works properly(Ctrl+C etc.). But alt+tab and Windows key shortcuts doesn't work for guest os. Even i activate or deactivate host key (Right Ctrl) it still tabs between programs in host os. Please help me?
For now, as discussed here, it looks like Windows Key + Alt + Tab does the trick
It is indeed a Wayland problem (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97333). Switching back to X11 solves the problem (on Debian Buster, uncomment #WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf, look for a similar file in Fedora)
After an upgrade to VirtualBox 6.0, alt-tab stopped working; it would switch to windows on the host, not on the (Linux) virtual machine.
Just by accident I discovered that left-clicking on the application shortcut (in the vertical strip on the left side of the screen) will switch to that application in the virtual machine, like alt-tab used to do.
I am on VirtualBox 6.0.14 under Windows 8 host OS. Guest OS is Arch linux. The Host key (Right Ctrl) when in guest OS followed by Alt + Tab worked fine until I pressed some key blindly.
Since then it stopped working unitil I occasionally pressed Host key followed by Alt + Esc. This sequence now works fine to switch from guest OS to host OS. Then the host OS Alt + Tab works normally.
If you remove all gnome3 configuration and start from a fresh login of gnome shell it also works.
And the solution for use the right alt to the guest and left alt for the host also works.
Switching from Wayland to Xorg, at the login screen, fixed this issue for me.
Debian, linux kernel 5.3.0-1-amd64
Gnome-shell 3.34.1
Virtualbox 6.0.14_Debian r132055
As #ChennyStar and #stelios mentioned, this problem is related to gnome wayland. The same problem for virtual box is also visible in vmware workstation. There is a copy/paste problem between host and guest which is related to this as well. Ctrl+Alt+Arrow keys do not switch between guests because of the same reason.
I have seen this problem in Ubuntu 20.04 with kernel 5.4.0-40 and Gnome 3.36.4 on a high-tech acer laptop.
From settings, choose "Gnome on Xorg" instead of wayland when you login, And this solves all the problems at once.
It will work when using two alt's (right and left )
I've tried everything. Coherence Mode is greyed out in Parallels 12 for Windows 10.
I do not have an antivirus. (http://kb.parallels.com/en/121427)
There are no other display adapters besides the Parallels Display Adapter (WDDM) that are installed.
Parallels tools are installed properly. I've tried re-installing parallels tools in every manner outlined here: http://kb.parallels.com/112609
My setup:
- I'm using a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter to hook up to a 30" monitor.
- Unplugging it doesn't allow Coherence Mode either.
Thanks for any help!

The following works for me:
1. Click Parallel Desktop (the || sign)--> View --> Unclick Full Screen Mode
2. The Virtual Machine should now reside in a smaller window.
3. Click Parallels Desktop again and the "Enter Coherence Mode" option should work now.
Hope it helps!
ps1. Have tried exactly the same sequence as you did but it turned out that all installations are actually ok and it's just about getting familiar with how Parallels Desktop works.
ps2. Once entering coherence mode, you'll also be able to open Windows APPs directly under Mac as if they were Mac APPs. Before that if you open these Windows APP they will first switch to full screen Win 10 and then open the Windows APP within Win 10.
I'm trying something very different. We have legacy Windows Mobile programs that we need to run on Windows 8.1 tablets with capacitive screens. To do this we've installed the stand alone Windows Mobile 6.1 Emulator which runs without a problem. Doing this, we can load and run our old Windows Mobile programs on the 8.1 Tablet and they run well but we are having problems with the touch or mouse click. The emulator is meant to be used with a mouse button to select and click not a touch screen. When we run our old programs we have to double-tap in order to select anything. This is not a problem until we try to enter text from the emulator keyboard. We have to tap each key twice in order to enter a character. This becomes very tiresome and makes the legacy program useless. Our legacy Win Mobile program was designed to allow our field people to collect large amounts of text and numeric data. Having to tap each key twice will not work.
We've examined the limited mouse and touch option in Windows 8.1 and nothing seems to help. So here are my questions:
Is there third party software that may improve on Windows 8.1 mouse customization? Synaptic maybe?
Is there a command line switch for the emulator we could add that would fix this problem?
Does anyone know of a method to fix this?
Thanks
I have asked this question to MS support.

I think the problem is in Windows 8 touchscreen API driver, I have tested this emulator with Win7 tablet, no problems with double click.
I've searched every place I could think of, but nobody seems to have had this issue or didn't bother asking about it.
I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 freshly with the gnome fallback shell. Everything works perfectly fine, except for one thing.
My WINE applications start on the wrong screen, this isn't really a big issue, but when I drag the window to my main screen, the mouse doesn't work on the application anymore. The app doesn't freeze, and is fully responsive to keyboard input, I just can't click on anything anymore.
My specs (relevant):
- NVidia Geforce 540M
- 1 laptop screen 1366x768
- 1 Samsung Syncmaster SA550 27" - 1920x1080
Thanks in advance!
Did you create the application on a resolution smaller then the current on your pc?
If so, do the following (I have a laptop with 1366x768 on the internal monitor and 1920x1080 on the external monitor):
Open winecfg
Check the Virtual Desktop checkbox and set the size to the largest resolution you are going to use
Start the app and check if it's working properly now (You can check that with the battlenet launcher :))
Start winecfg again and uncheck the Virtual Desktop box
