    I work on El Capitan, Parallels 12 and windows 10 Pro. After intalling parallels 12, when usin windows 10, my Keybord mac does not work correctly and works as a (more than) simple windows keyboard. How can I work with wondows 10 with de full functions of my Mac Keyboard?
    Thanks for your Help and I apologize for my pure french english accent.

    I have the same problem. When going into Windows 10 it changes my keyboard setting from pro to simple. Annoying.

    Hi MagnusA1, did you check the On-screen keyboard settings in Windows 10 virtual machine?

    Hi! Thank you again for the tip but I could not find anything relating to the issue.
    I have narrowed it down to the following. It is fine when starting Parallells. It´s when I start Windows it changes. If I´m not running any programs it is possible to change back to the Pro keyboard layout but as soon as I open Windows start menu or open a program it changes to the simple setting for my keyboard.
    Regards
    Magnus

    @MagnusA1 Could you please confirm with us the 'Pro' keyboard you're referring to? i.e., (USB/wireless keyboard with special/multimedia functions).

    Hi! I´m using a MacBook Pro so i´m using the built in keyboard on the computer. When referring to Pro and simple I´m referring to a setting in MacOS X where I can choose between having a Pro or simple setting for the keyboard. Pro and simpel differs in layout and the Pro version is the one setting that is in line with the actual layout of the keyboard.

    Hi again! Sorry but I forgot to mention that it is Swedish Pro and Swedish simple I'm referring to when talking about Pro and simple.
