Closing Parallels Wizard after Installation of Windows 10

Bit poster
I have installed Windows 10 using the Parallels Wizard. I'm able to access my virtual machine and my desktop files are available. It seems like the installation is complete, however when I attempt to close the parallels wizard a pop up appears stating "Do you want to stop or suspend the installation?". If I click stop all progress will be lost. Several hours have past and it doesn't seem like anymore tasks are being completed. How do I know if installation is complete and if it is safe to close the wizard? Thanks
 
Hi Druba, I went to the article you referenced and it indicated I need to
  • Right-click the Windows Start menu icon in Dock.
  • Select View > Exit Coherence.
However, the Windows Start menu icon is not in the dock. I only have parallels desktop and Windows 10 icon (the icon is a pic of the windows desktop). Also I am able to view the windows desktop in a window on my Mac Desktop. Does this mean I'm not in coherence mode?
 
Hi Ram,

Please see below. This window has remained open for days now after installation. When I click to close the warning window shown appears. It seems to indicate installation is not yet complete? What do I do to complete the installation?

Also, after following Bdruda's previous instruction I discovered the windows start menu icon is not in my dock - this leads me to ask, should it be?

Maybe I should also add that the Parallels Desktop Control Center has had this "time wheel" over the desktop view for several days as well. Does this indicate something is still happening in the background or does it always do this?

Just installed Parallels and Windows 10 this past weekend and having the same issue as BoydC. Parallels Wizzard still spinning away for a couple days now. Any help on this issue would be appreciated

Yes, this issue occurred with the initial install of Parallels Desktop using build 12.1.3 (41532). So it would appear the issue can still occur with this build
I ended up stopping the installation which lost my Windows installation and subsequent windows apps I had installed. After reinstalling things seem to be working
