Parallels 12 & Windows 10 - Multi Display

[Richard3]

Hi,
What is going on with v12/Windows 10 and multiple displays? It used to be Windows would extend from the Mac and to my monitor that I added. Now Parallels does some odd "tabbing" and Windows 10 thinks I have 5 screens. This did not start until I updated to v12 of Parallels.

I also find when I am looking at program that are minimized to the task bar and I get a preview, it is VERY laggy - especially when I have multiple Remote Desktops minimized (as I often do for support).

I've used parallels for a long long time but his version seems to have lost the normal quality of your release processes, my VMs are slower in fact my MacOS VMs are sometimes unusable with the mouse tracking being up to 5 or 6 seconds behind making it impossible to use the VM. I am very close to jumping ship because I use VMs for my day to day work and I am losing money due to time wasted trying to make the VMs work. Please can we have some sort of timeline of fixes urgently.

I seem to have lost a post.
Update; Backed up and downgraded back to 11 all working ok again now. Very unusual to have such a poor major release from you guys hopefully you can rectify this soon.

Does anyone know if the latest 12 update fixes the issue?

 

[NicholasC1]

It does not.

 

[BigGJS]

Thanks, I'll stay on 11 then, I'm guessing we still don't have any timescales .....

 

[BigGJS]

Anyone have any news on this? @parallels any progress, timescales, any comment at all?

@parallels, you send out all sorts of emails telling us our old versions won't be supported with new Mac Operating systems, then you break something this fundamental and take MONTHS to fix it?
That's the last time I'll recommend your software.
The fact that this has sat on this forum for so long with no response since last year - you should be ashamed!

Ok, so you have sent me a message offering free upgrade to 12 again, have you fixed the multi-display issue report by this thread 10 months ago, if the answer is no then I still can't upgrade. Please can someone from parallels reply to this and give an update.

 

[BigGJS]

So still no reply from Parallels, I have DM'd the user who posted on here and no reply from her either, not impressed

http://kb.parallels.com/111936 this fixes it but you need to go to separate display spaces. I took the plunge and went to 13 hoping it would fix it but it didn't but then Parallels sent me this link. Nice if they had done that on this forum for 12!
