    I don't use coherence. Is there any way to stop a new virtual machine starting up in coherence mode? I can't see anything in the configuration settings.
    Also, if I clone an existing VM that's not running in coherence and then start the clone it starts up in coherence.
    Is there any way to avoid this?
    Thanks

    Hi Golfmad, yes, there is a way to stop your Windows virtual machine starting up in coherence mode. You can Set which View mode from Start up and shut down settings. Please shut down your Windows virtual machine and go to Configuration-> Options->Start up and sut down settings-> Set View mode- >Choose either Windows or full screen mode and then clone your Windows virtual machine.

    Thanks Paul. I'll give that a try. I didn't think full screen mode and coherence were the same thing but now you mention it, it does make sense. It might make it a little easier in future if the option to read Windows or Coherence?
