    I'd like to have a visible START menu

    When I start a VM that is in Coherence view, I want either the START menu to be initially visible OR accessible via a menu item on the host computer, so that I don't have to switch out of Coherence just to get the START menu. As it is, not 100% of the time, but much of the time, after I launch a...

    Gray box showing up when running coherence

    I am running Windows 11 on PD18 in coherence mode. Periodically throughout the day, a large gray box will show up for about 10-30 seconds covering the left half my desktop. It looks and feels like parallels is trying to show a window, but nothing is shown. When I switch out of coherence, the...

    Hi all, The below has been happening every few days (starting with builds before the summer) up until now. When in Coherence, with no warning, clicking on Start (Flag) or Search, does nothing - you can see the icons being pressed, but no menus come up. Weirdly, right-clicking on Start, will...

    MS Teams, Win 11 Notifications & Coherence Mode

    Hi everyone, I have multiple windows VM's that I use for work, which includes using MS Teams for IM's, group calls, video & content-sharing, etc. I don't really have a choice not to use MS Teams even though personally I hate the app (uses a lot of CPU and fan constantly on overdrive). I use...

    Ventura & Win11 - Coherence Z-order broken

    Hi, Is anyone else experiencing this? Since I updated to Ventura beta, Parallels 17 (and now 18 & 18.0.1) are showing broken Z-order for W11 windows when in Coherence. Eg when you open any app (or window such as File Explorer) it comes up in front of any Mac apps that are open, HOWEVER once you...

    Switch directly from full screen to coherence, & visa versa. The button is there but disabled.

    Currently, if you're in full screen, the 'Enter Coherence' option is greyed out, and vice versa. To make the switch, you have to first exit full screen and then enter coherence (and vice versa). Can we just make this one step?

    Ubuntu 20.04 and coherence

    I understand that Ubuntu 20.04 does not support the coherence mode, but is there an alternative? Without coherence how do I move a file from my Mac desktop to the Ubuntu 20.04 VM? Likewise, how do I move a file from Ubuntu 20.04 to my Mac?

    Coherence mode for individual programs only

    Hello, I very much prefer to have the "full" Windows experience with Windows Desktop. However, I would like to use my iPad and have a Windows App appear there. It is possible to have Parallels (i.e., the full Windows Desktop) diplay on the iPad, but not an individual Windows app unless I use...

    Deactivate the Beep Sound?

    I run Windows 10 in a Parallels VM (Parallels Version 17.1.4 (51567)) in Coherence mode. Each time I switch from a Mac app to a Windows app, a VERY LOUD BEEP sound is played, hurting my ears when I have my earphones on! This is VERY ANNOYING! Is it possible to deactivate this nasty beep sound?

    Can't exit coherence mode. No preferences. Nothing in menubar.

    I don't see parallels in the menubar. In the dock, I see the parallels desktop icon. I right click it to bring up the menu but don't see a way to exit coherence mode. I'm stuck in coherence mode. Every time I launch Parallels desktop, it just launches the Windows start menu. How do I ext...

    Coherence mode does not work with Windows 11

    I installed Windows 11 and am now running Windows 10 and 11. When I enter coherence mode for Windows 11, there is nothing on the screen. I can select the "windows start menu" from the Parallels icon in the tool bar at the top of the screen. Is Coherence mode not available with Windows 11?

    Coherence mode losing Keyboard focus

    I have recently notice that after coming back to my mini M1 (say after lunch) and the screensaver has kicked in (machine is not sleeping), I am unable to type anything into the VM - as if there is no keyboard connected. I also note that (as I use Streamdeck with shortcuts depending on which Mac...
