    Hi, just updated from Monterey to Ventura and I'm going nuts trying to fix this annoying change in behavior :

    When I press command-tab, I used to be able to cycle through all open Mac and Windows apps in the standard Mac fashion.

    Now when I press command-tab, it is hijacked by Windows 11 (as alt-tab) and I can only cycle between the open Windows applications via the standard Windows UI.

    Switching in or out of Coherence doesn't fix it. Turning Stage Manager on or off doesn't fix it.

    Which means I can command-tab into Windows, but then I'm trapped. My muscle memory is very annoyed. Any help would be welcome!

    I've searched the Key Mappings from Apple to Windows in the "Parallels Control Panel">Settings and I don't even see a mapping for CMD-Tab. Now I'm curious as to how you got that to happen. Did it just start randomly?

    I upgraded from macOS Monterey to Ventura, that's it. Didn't change anything else. Same version Parallels (18.3.2 (53621))...

    I updated Parallels to version 19 and the problem has NOT gone away... Still stuck inside Windows when I command-tab

    OK, I finally found the setting to revert to the previous behavior in (macOS system shortcuts)

    Good to know. Can you please confirm where that setting was found? I think it might be at Settings > Keyboard > Modifier Keys, and then select for Command Key, but I'd like to confirm.
