Host: Windows 8.1 Pro Running on Surface Pro 3 512GB Guest: Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Upgraded to VirtualBox 5.0.4 on host and installed GA on guest.

The Machine menue no longer has Insert Ctrl-Alt-Del.

Have you checked Input -> Keyboard menu?

Replying to vushakov:

Have you checked Input -> Keyboard menu?

No because the current VirtualBox manual available here: ​http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.0.4/UserManual.pdf

says on page 24:

– Use the items in the “Machine” menu of the virtual machine window. There you will find “Insert Ctrl+Alt+Delete” and “Ctrl+Alt+Backspace”; the latter will only have an effect with Linux or Solaris guests, however.

Appearently, there was an undocumented change made.

Thanks. Will be fixed in the next 5.0.x maintenance release.

view of the Machine menu from 5.0.20

I had 5.0.18 installed on a Windows 7 system. I shutdown one VM and haven't been able to login to it since. I searched for the Ctrl-Alt-Del in the machine menu but it was not there. I downloaded and installed 5.0.20 and it is not in this version either. I'll add the image from 5.0.20. Did it miss the 5.0.20 release?

mgb73, read the other comments in this ticket. The Ctrl+Alt+Del combination has moved to Input / Keyboard. See also the 5.0.20 user manual.
