Hi folks
Just a query to those more experienced with Windows internals etc. No problem to solve -- just would like some knowlege.
If you have a VM which is in an idle state on a Windows host - you need to gain focus in the VM to be able to use it again.
What I want to know is this purely a hardware interrupt e.g keyboard, mouse, touch screen etc or is there a basic process that cycles continuously checking on any device interrupts. It seems to me that Vmware workstation / player and vbox seem to run at higher cpu load than HYPER-V or KVM / QEMU when the VM doesnt have any activity.
Any ideas. !!!! Just curious as I don't use vmware or oracle's vbox.
cheers
