Windows 10 taskbar apps open randomly

I am running Parallels Desktop for Mac 12.2.0 on Mac OSX Sierra with Windows 10 installed.

Since upgrading to Sierra and/or Parallels 12 at the same time I have experienced an issue where apps on the Windows taskbar will open when my cursor moves over them. This happens without clicking on anything and will often result in multiple copies of the same app opening or multiple apps opening, depending on how long my cursor hovered there and how many app icons it moved over.

This usually happens when I am using Autocad 18 (also previously with Autocad 16 & 17), but I think it has happened once while doing something else.
It seems to happen quite randomly and I can't replicate it if I try.

Same problem here, AutoCAD Civil 3D 2018... Also, it doesn't just effect pinned icons for me, it affects any icon emblems that are there for open programs... Anyone find a fix yet?

Having a similar problem with Outlook occasionally spawning numerous open versions just by clicking on the Outlook icon in the task bar. Most often happens when trying to insert a picture but can happen at other odd times. I use a CAD problem called Altium which has also seen problems occurring for about the last six months. Latest Parallels with the latest Windows 10 or Windows 8.

I had the same problem using Paralells 13.3.1 on Mac OS X High Sierra when using AutoCAD 2018 Architecture.
Since official help from Paralells seems to not be coming in the nearer future I found this post on the Autodesk Forum: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/supp...ndows-on-Parallels-open-multiple-windows.html

I followed the instructions turning off the "Auto detect for games" option and haven't had a problem since....
I'll keep you posted if the problems recur.
