    When I utilize Parallels Desktop I have often 3 monitors running MacOS and a single monitor running windows however I would like to distribute it differently instead of having the View > Use all displays in full screen I would like the option to customize which displays are allocated to windows and MacOS as I am often using the 2 operating systems side by side in conjunction with each other.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your feedback.
    Kindly follow the steps below to achieve the Swap from Windows to Mac on one screen at a time:
    1. Shut down any running virtual machines (Actions >Shutdown).
    2. Open the virtual machine's Configuration (https://kb.parallels.com/117287) > Options > Full Screen > Select "Use all displays in full screen" and Unselect "Show and hide spaces on all displays simultaneously".
    3. Launch the virtual machine and try to reproduce the issue.
    If the issue still persists, please collect an additional technical report (click on the Parallels icon on top of the mac menu bar > Help > Send technical data > check "Attach screenshots..." > press Send Report) and send the report's 9-digit ID in a reply to this e-mail.
    Wishing you a nice week ahead!

    I use 4 display, some times 6, I also would like to be able assigned monitors instead of just having the option to use all of them. Sometimes I don't want to use coherent mode or for security reasons I can't; Some times I need to isolate my windows VMs as much as I can.
