I find the automatic pause in Windows mode also annoying and time wasting. For example, I try to copy a file from Windows to Finder and find that halfway through, the Windows side has paused.
I would love to see this feature as well. I am required to use a vpn and the automatic pause disconnects that connection. This is a daily frusteration with this product for me. There is no reason why there should not be a option to disable or delay this automatic pause.
unlucky enough, the checkbox only appears for windows guests, but others (mac OS im my case) also auto pause. Does anybody know how to stop a mac OS guest from auto-pausing?
