    One of the first annoying things I have noticed as I started exploring the ARM Windows 11 VM on my shiny new MacBook Pro M3 Max is that once an Explorer Window is opened (or any activity) on Windows 11 VM, the MaxOS Menu and Tool Bar can no longer be accessed. I find myself stuck within the Win VM.

    The only way to restore access to MacOS is to Restart or Shutdown the Win VM. This is most definitely a bother. I would prefer to be able to actively flip between the VM and MacOs, back and forth to achieve a fluent productivity on my MacBook Pro.

    Is anyone aware of a method or setup that would allow this level of concurrency in activities??

    How Dumb of Me! On the upper left Title Bar of the open Windows 11 VM is a visible note to press Control^Alt to free the cursor. That means of course, to allow the cursor sprite to change and allow movement to MacOS. Problem Solved. Take note.
