    Parallels has somehow created an overlayed window that blocks viewing my login username and password entry on Mac login. I also can't access my system preferences. It opens, but the window it opens into is invisible and inaccessible.

    I tried to get support from Parallels but their support is atrocious. I contacted them on all their channels and have not heard back, going on 5 days waiting. Tried calling and chat support numerous times. Nothing.

    I decided that I'm not going to use this software, so I deleted my VM and Parallels per their directions. I am still having this window overalay issue. Every time my mac goes to sleep I have to restart it to access the login screen, otherwise it's just hidden. Because I also can't access system preferences to change my sleep settings. Whenever I try to click on the blank screens I get a windows misclick/error sound. Why is Windows even causing this disruption when I installed Parallels?
    Hopefully, it's just something easy that I'm missing. Thanks for reading.
