    I have a window manager already and keep getting a "Window Manager Conflict" splash screen every time I start my machine. There is no obvious way to turn off/disable this feature in Toolbox. Most to all other "apps" within the Toolbox have a preferences selection, but this one does not. Please advise how to turn it off.

    Thanks. I sent the technical report in, but it really is just there's no off button for the Window Manager in the Toolbox. There are a few "apps" in there that are the same, but most have a settings menu option when you hover over their icons... This one does not.

    • Show the Window Manager in the menu bar (right-click in Parallels Dashboard and choose the option.
    • Click on the menu and turn off "open when the Mac starts"
    • Click on the menu and choose Quit.

    That worked... Thank you. I had to disable my other window manager before I could perform the action, but it gave me the option to uncheck the "open when the Mac starts". The true test will be when I restart, but that won't be until this evening. Thanks again for being helpful when "support" was not (still have no response from them).
