    Windows 10 Education
    Windows Office 2019 Pro with Onenote

    To recreate:
    In parallels running Windows 10 Education:
    1. Open one Windows Explorer window.
    2. Open Windows Onenote
    3. Navigate to mac drive Y: (mac user home)
    4. Navigate to "Desktop" folder.
    5. Take a screenshot using mac screen shortcut, which saves the screenshot to the desktop.
    6. The screenshot should appear in the "Desktop" folder in Windows Explorer already open.
    7. Click and drag the screenshot into Microsoft Onenote
    8. The screenshot should appear inside Onenote.
    9. Take another screenshot using mac screen shortcut.
    10. Verify that the new screenshot appears in the "Desktop" folder in Windows Explorer.
    11. Now try clicking on the new screenshot file.

    What you will see happen is that both the first screenshot and second screenshot are selected if you just click on the second screenshot file. This is because the "clicked" state after the "click and drag" operation of the first file is persisting. It is impossible to select only one file in the Windows Explorer after this point.
     
  2. Hi @EdwardK5, please add this bootflag (go to Hardware > Boot Order and expand Advanced Settings section.) devices.usb.mouse=2 and check the issue.
