    I am running PD11 (Windows 10 installed) on a mac mini (late 2014 version) connected to two external displays. Normally I would set the Windows 10 to run in full screen mode (and check the option 'use all displays in full screen'). Ever since I upgraded the macOS to Sierra, the Windows 10 VM would revert to window mode every time mac mini wakes from sleep (see the attached image). Is this due to incompatiblity between PD11 and macOS Sierra?

    Hey, please attache the image once again, there is no attachment.
    BTW did you reinstall Parallels Tools after upgrade?

    The attached image simply shows PD11 running in window mode after mac mini woke up. It was put in Full screen mode before mac mini entered sleep. I have tried reinstalling Parallels Tools and it does not help. I noticed that one of my displays (which is set to main desktop) has 'slow' waking up issue. The one connected to the miniDP (ASUS PB279Q the other to the HDMI) port of mac mini takes much longer (like 5-10 secs) to wake up and this seems to make the system think that that display does not exist during that waking up period. Maybe this is what causes PD11 to go from full screen to window mode?
