Hi,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;cmd-L - you mean to say &quot;Windows key&quot; + L. If that is the case, then it is meant for windows lock. So obviously you will be redirected to login screen and need to unlock your pc.

I should have said VMWare Fusion, so it would be clear that I was on a Mac.<br />
<br />
So by cmd-L, I mean cmd-L which is a Mac keystroke. Now it should be obvious that there is no &quot;Windows key + L.&quot;<br />

I accidentally pressed cmd-L while working in Zend Studio in a VM. This causes the Windows login screen to appear full screen. At first I did not know how to recover from this. Apparently just clicking on a login icon reverses the phenomena.<br />

What is the cmd-L keystroke doing in this case?<br />

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
