    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to do something rather basic... that doesn't work so far.
    I have a MBPro Retina mid-2014, El Capitan, Parallels 11 and Windows 10. All the latest drivers I believe.

    I'm trying to use a second monitor -AOC e2250Swdak- in which to have Windows full screen.
    OSX on the MBP screen, Win10 on the second monitor full screen.

    Doesn't work. At all. I am losing the cursor (that's the main trouble) and need to stop or reinitialize the Virtual Machine. Black screen for the VM and so forth... Really annoying. I've tried all kinds of settings : same result. I lose the cursor on Win10, therefore I cannot use Win10 on the second screen.
    (Changing the resolution, even in Copy Mode, gives the same result.)

    My question : are you able / is it possible to have the OSX screen on the MBP and the Win10 screen on the second monitor full screen ?
    Thanks !


    Arnaud
