Maybe a stupid question, but how can I exit Fullscreen mode? I dont get any buttons when hovering on middle top of the screen..

Use the appropriate key binding for your virtual machine software. Different hypervisors use different bindings, so you need to tell us what program you are using. Ctrl+Alt is a popular combination, but I have also seen Right-Ctrl.

Hm, unfortunately it does not work. Nothing happens with ctrl + alt +f

In Qemu, the running virtual machine must have already grab the mouse and the keyboard for the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+f work.

This does work in aqemu, but not with virtual machine manager.

I use only Qemu in command lines so, with no graphical interface to manage it. I use VirtualBox too who have it's own graphical interface and shortcuts.
