Windows Mode and maximized, then you have two task bars visible at once when you are in the VM
or
(No matter if window mode or full screen)
CTRL+TAB to change to host and ALT+TAB to switch to the last program used in the host
ALT+TAB to go back to the VM
I personally like version 1

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

One thing that may make life easier is putting some sort of VNC/RDP on the VM so that you don't actually have to switch to the VM, but remote desktop into it.
It's marginal, but it's definitely been better on a Pi to do that. They do something to them to make them not poll the mouse so often by default so it is like pushing the cursor through molasses. RDP though, mouse moves client side, so it doesn't really matter.

Our tester had a nice error in our .NET 8 application, it was trying to find "kernel32.dll" in the "Program Files\dotnet" directory 
It is a 64 bits application but luckily there is a 64 bits version named "kernel32.dll" in the System directory

Americans are moving to the metric system... inch by inch.

To quote Bill Bryson ("The road to Little Dribbling"):
'Of course they make sense,' the British person will sniff. 'Half a firkin is a jug, half a jug is a tot, half a tot is a titter, half a titter is a c**k-droplet. What's not logical about that?'
We have traces of funny units in the metric world, too, such as measuring thickness in grams. Plated silverware (not silver through) is usually referred to as "60 grams", but not until recently did I know the true meaning of the "60 grams": If 60 grams of silver is used to plate 24 pieces of cutlery, 12 forks and 12 (full size) spoons, then the silver layer has a thickness of 60 grams.
Earlier, cheaper silverware was only 40 grams. Some years of use might wear off the silver so the cutlery got brownish spots where the underlaying copper comes out. Today, 60 grams is the standard; that is enough to stand many years of wear.
None of my sources said a word about how many micrometers thick layer 60 grams of silver would make on 24 pieces. I was thinking of measuring the surface area of a spoon and a fork to get a rough idea (I know of no good way to measure the surface area exactly), but I never got around to it. If anyone around here knows the answer - how many micrometers is 60 grams? - I'd be happy if you would reveal it!
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

When I was a teenager, a teacher told me that the best thing about all the drugs in American is that the students learned the metric system that way.

Is it a patent for improved wedge bolts btw ?

Congratulations! I remember my first patent - I was "but it's so obvious - why didn't someone else do it first?"
I'm getting there - still miss her like crazy, and my sleep pattern is all over the place so my concentration is ... um ... poor and I get distracted very easily so I forget what I was doing. That's OK when you are holding a wooden spoon, but ceramic knives make it a lot riskier. I'm still not cooking properly as a result!
