Upload VM
I am running Windows 11 23H2 aarch64 in UTM
Here is a demo video of the bug
First bug: Abnormal display of virtual machine contents in UTM.
This bug also exists on iPadOS 15 when using AirPlay for casting. Maybe it's similar to this issue #5724
Temporary workaround: open UTM in the iPad Pro and run the VM, then transfer it to the external screen.

Second bug: If you run UTM alone, the mouse cannot be captured under external screen. Or maybe it's locking the mouse in the UTM VM, and you can't get it out.

Third bug: running two apps in the external screen, UTM can capture mouse movement, but it will be shifted. But you can resize the app window, and UTM will adaptively adjust the VM resolution as well

Regarding the UTM casting via AirPlay display exception, it doesn't seem to exist under UTM 4.3.5. In this issues mention the improved #4725

Additions, in Stage manager scheduling Non-full screen running UTM captures the mouse and does not release it, requesting a shortcut key for the action

Once 4.5.x is out please try it and report back because the auto resolution feature was redesigned.
Once 4.5.x is out please try it and report back because the auto resolution feature was redesigned.
Ok, I'll test it after the UTM update.
Improvements to the cursor capture function
@osy I've found that Microsoft's RD Client handles cursor capture in iPadOS 16's external display quite well.
Can both accurately capture the cursor and freely move out of the app
Better than I originally envisioned, no need to set up a special shortcut for releasing the captured cursor

About using the Picture-in-Picture function
Then I had a new idea, why not use picture-in-picture to show the resource usage of the current VM, isn't that what QEMU Guest Agent is designed for?
It is even possible to print the QMP output log in a picture-in-picture.
I'm just asking if this feature was considered, not trying to have it in the 4.5 update
Questions about AirPlay
Then I had a question about AirPlay, when I launch UTM in my iPad Pro, the cast display is replaced with a paragraph containing the text "Waiting for VM to connect to display".
Is it possible to have an on/off switch for this auto screen casting feature? Because it would replace the external screen desktop mode of iPadOS 16
About 4.5.0 Beta Status Report
1. Display exception bug
Starting a VM with UTM on an external screen doesn't cause the previous display exception anymore
https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/assets/31967654/42c90025-dfde-407e-b7a7-abc954519d6a
However, the second screen via AirPlay casting still shows the same exception as in version 4.4.x.

2. Cursor Capture Bugs
4.5.0 Beta is unchanged from the previous version and still doesn't work well on external screens.
Add some descriptions that I missed before:
UTM toolbar animation on external display is not working correctly, and the functionality of the toolbar is not working correctly (it works before VM startup, but after VM startup, clicking on it doesn't work).
Using the split-screen button (three dots) at the top of the app to enter full-screen mode, the VM resolution occasionally doesn't auto-adapt, and the cursor doesn't shift position, but it can't be moved out of the app either, it's locked into the UTM.

Can confirm. I'm on 16.3.1 and 11" m1 user; 16gb ram. Having the same issues. This setup is very close to being able to replace my macbook, just would need this external display full screen to work, cause 11" is unsustainable for longer periods
