    The display driver for PD11 is terrible..

    I use Windows 10 in full screen mode, two monitors.

    Quite often the display is not redrawing correctly, bad artefacts on the desktop.

    I will be working on one monitor for a while then I notice the second screen is not updating at all, really bad when debugging code, I have the webpage open on the left and the debugger on the right, if the right display hits a breakpoint I don't know, I have to constantly click on the right screen to get it to update?!
    Sometimes its so bad the desktop will not refresh at all on Windows, i.e. click and move an icon on the desktop, the display doesn't update, so shows the icon in the old position, so now where is the actual icon.... hmmm.

    The only way to get the displays to work correctly is to take PD out of full screen view again, then switch back.

    I am using El Capitan, PD11, Windows 10, all latest updates in all areas.

    Once again terrible experience with PD11, I truly wish I never gave Parallels my money (for the pro version) and stayed with PD10.
