menu bar annoyances ... full screen mode ... disable menu auto-hide / auto-show

[John_L]

Hello Smart People,

Is there any way to DISABLE the autohide/autoshow behaviour of the Parallels Desktop menu (ie. Parallels Desktop ... File ... Virtual Machine ... Devices .. Windows ... Help... ) at the top of the screen when working in Windows Full-Screen mode.

Specifically, when I am working I *dont* want the menu to auto-appear when I hover near the top of the screen. Most of the time I using the Windows menu bar that is relevant to the task I am performing (ie. like working in Outlook or PowerPoint) and the Parallels Desktop menu annoyingly floats down interrupting what I am working on every time I move the mouse to the top of the page...

I've looked for ways to disable/change this... can't find anything obvious.

It is very, very irritating... Any useful advice greatly appreciated.

John L.

But then how do you exit the VM?

Hello @John_L , it's possible to hide top menu Top menu will appear , when mouse cursor will go to Top.

Which makes it impossible to get out of the VM.
