    I have only bought Parallels today, and I did trial it 5 months ago

    During my trial, all things were working pretty smoothly, and didn't have this particular problem

    Wen running the VM in coherence, and clicking the "Windows Start Menu", all I get is a grey box appear, where the menu should appear.

    I have updated my Mac to 10.12.2 today, so could this be the reason that the Parallels SW may not be compatible with the new update?

    Steps I have taken
    • Reboot laptop
    • Reboot VM
    • Stop and start VM
    • Switch from coherence to normal and back
    Not sure, where else to start, to diagnose the problem further

    SW Ver: 12.1.1 (41491)
    MacOS: 10.12.2
    VM OS: Windows 10 Pro x64

    @ArifA hey, did you reinstall Parallels Tools? If not, please try to do it with this KB and let us know how it works.

    Thanks @Maria@Parallels, but unfortunately, that didn't work

    Just remembered from last night, when I first installed Parallels 12, it was all good. I updated the MacOS, and then this problem started to appear

    Ok, thanks for the info. And how about reinstallation of Parallels Desktop? Did you try this?
