    Thank you for your quick reply.

    I can't see any 'Ease of Access':

    I looked into all of those and I couldn't find "Colour and High Contrast"

    I was in the same boat as you, you have to follow the instructions EXACTLY. Click the start button, click the cog wheel. Now you'll see ease of access option

    Because windows needs 2 incompatible versions of the control panel apparently

    I can't find an "Ease of Access", just an "Ease of Access Center" in Windows 10 Pro

    "Ease of Access Centre"; then "Ease of Access"; then "Colour and high contrast"

    You can just search for "High Contrast Settings" in the Start menu, then turn off the colour filter or choose another filter.

    @nullpointers I couldn't find that either. Judging from your image, I think you searched for "Ease of Access Center" in the Start menu. Did you try searching "High Contrast Settings" instead?

    Hi
    can you please show me how did you added the custom keyboard command to the Parallels keyboard?
    thank you
     
  12. Hi, press 'Cmd+ Ctrl + C' keys together in the Windows virtual machine to enable/disable the color filter option.

    I just had the same issue. The Windows setting helped though.

    I got the same error when I use Cmd+C in windows. I think Parallels automatically help me to translate that to Ctrl+C in Windows. So Windows got Cmd+Ctrl+C instruction from parallels which becomes Color filter in Settings. So what you need to do is do Cmd+Ctrl+C again to restore it to colorful desktop.
