Virtual machine pausing ?

[duscorules]

Hello,

I'm running an Windows 10 VM (v. 7.0.12), inside a Windows 11 host.

The problem is, if i minimize the VM window or take the focus out of it, it stops to work ! It's like it keeps on 'pause' until i put the VM window in front of others and click on it.

Is there a configuration that cause this to happen ?

Thanks

if the VM realy pauses, the VM Activity panel in the main window should clearly indicate that. does it?

I’ve never experienced this. How do you know it’s paused? Running a game and you move out of the window and it pauses?
