menu bar annoyances ... full screen mode ... disable menu auto-hide / auto-show

Hello Smart People,

Is there any way to DISABLE the autohide/autoshow behaviour of the Parallels Desktop menu (ie. Parallels Desktop ... File ... Virtual Machine ... Devices .. Windows ... Help... ) at the top of the screen when working in Windows Full-Screen mode.

Specifically, when I am working I *dont* want the menu to auto-appear when I hover near the top of the screen. Most of the time I using the Windows menu bar that is relevant to the task I am performing (ie. like working in Outlook or PowerPoint) and the Parallels Desktop menu annoyingly floats down interrupting what I am working on every time I move the mouse to the top of the page...

I've looked for ways to disable/change this... can't find anything obvious.

It is very, very irritating... Any useful advice greatly appreciated.

THANK YOU, Looran!

This has been driving me nuts.

Much appreciated!

 

But then how do you exit the VM?

 

Hello @John_L , it's possible to hide top menu Top menu will appear , when mouse cursor will go to Top.

 

Which makes it impossible to get out of the VM.
