    Hopefully I can explain this properly.
    • I run a single Windows VM full screen, all of the time.
    • I can Command-Tab to the VM just fine
    • However, I still have to click somewhere within the windows guest in order to use the mouse within the guest.
    • When I do that, the mouse jumps to the last spot it was in before I left the guest and went back to MacOS - I don't like this.
    I'm trying to avoid having to click to activate the full screen. If I'm already full screen, I want it to be activated already the instant I go full screen, if that makes sense. I've tried the "Use MacOS X full screen" both checked and unchecked, the behavior is the same.

    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Dear GregW2, you may follow the instructions mentioned below:
    Go to Virtual Machine menu -> Configure... -> Hardware-> Boot Order
    Remove this Boot Flag from Boot Flags field
    devices.usb.ehc=0

    Hello Paul -
    This didn't help. All it did was disable the Camera within the virtual machine - I still have to click to activate the VM itself.

    Hey GregW2, Try to change the mouse settings to optimise for games / Auto-detect and check if it helps. Refer to this article.

    Ahh yes, that was it, thanks. I turned "Optimize for Games" Mouse setting off.
