    Here's the rundown
    -Have MacMini with up to date software
    -Downloaded Parallels, Windows 10 ISO
    -Installed both, worked great
    -Parallels was running Windows 10 windows right on my Mac desktop, no dedicated Windows 10 VM window
    -Able to access windows start menu and file explorer from Mac Launch bar

    -"Reset PC" on Windows 10, reinstalled Windows....Labeled as Windows 10 1 by Parallels
    -No longer able to use Windows 10 windows independently, drives not linked, can't see Mac folders despite enabling sharing
    -Only able to see a standalone Windows 10 VM window, no start menu/file explorer from Mac Launch Bar

    I would like to revert to the settings originally installed.

    Please help

    EDIT: "Enter Coherence" is greyed out on my top menu bar Parallels menu

    Hey @John18,
    To fix "Enter Coherence" option is grayed out, please try this steps and check how it works.

    Coherence is grayed out for me as well: PD, Windows 10, OS X 10.11. Those steps do not work because the Parallels display driver is already the only one installed.

    I did that, but still not working. Very rarely it will work, but 99% of the time it doesn't. Here is a screen shot of what it looks like when I enter coherence.... Screen Shot 2016-12-19 at 4.15.52 PM.png
    Please help!!!
