I don't use coherence normally so I'm not so familiar with parallels specifically when in this mode...
That said, I accidentally clicked the wrong button in the top left corner of a Windows 10 guest and entered coherence, only to find that I could not find any way to exit coherence, or do anything else within the parallels application itself.
So I'm wondering if someone can help me figure out how I couldy do this...
The thing that made it so confusing is that the parallels application in my dock was marked as NOT running while the Guest OS was active.
Clicking on the dock icon only opened the start menu, which didn't help the specific situation...
Since the application in the dock was not "running", right clicking the icon did not provide the normal set of menus such as the ability to show control center.
There was no OS icon in my dock, so selecting that wasn't an option.
I have menubar icons disabled, so there was no ability to select that.
Running windows applications from the finder worked as one would expect, but when in a windows application there is no ability I could find to exit coherence or engage parallels itself.
In short entering coherence seems to be a one way action. Once in coherence I cannot find ANY method to exit coherence. I cannot find ANY method to bring up preferences, control center, or any other option tied to parallels.
Eventually it dawned upon me to use the start menu that shows when clicking the dock icon to shut down the Guest OS. Since I have the Guest OS configured to boot into full screen by default, this effectively allowed me to exit Coherence. Of course, if I had the Guest OS set to return to the mode it was previously in, I would still be stuck in Coherence...
How can I exit coherence, or bring up the control center, or parallels preferences when coherence is active?? Note that I tried a few hot keys but none seemed to have any effect. My guess on this is since Parallels is behaving as if it's not running, I can't send hot keys to Parallels as it's never the active application...
