Got it!

For others with same problem, VirtualBox catches all keystrokes, even 
system ones like windows key or Alt+Tab and passes it to the guest VM 
unless you uncheck "Auto Capture Keyboard" on VB manager (GUI) 
File/Preferences/Input tab.

Obviously, if you do this, you no longer can, for example, use the 
windows key for guest start menu or Alt+Tab to switch windows on guest 
VM; you can't have it all.

Keep well,
