    When running Windows 7 in full screen and trying to cmd+tab between two Windows applications (say my focus is on Windows/Outlook and I want to switch to Windows/Excel) I am always redirected to an OS X window like safari or activity monitor instead of Windows/Excel. If I cmd+tab again to Windows/Excel, now that I'm focused on an OS X app, it then works.

    If my focus is on a Windows application, ctrl+tab does work fine to navigate between open Windows applications but cmd+tab did not previously have this issue. This started happening after upgrading my mac to High Sierra.

    macOS: 10.13.1 (17B1003) - High Sierra
    Guest OS: Windows 7
    Parallels Desktop Version: 11.2.3 (32663)

    The article referenced is in regards to ctrl+tab not working, my issue is with cmd+tab. In any case, I do not see "Show Next Tab" as an application shortcut in preferences.

    Is there any update on this issue? As previously mentioned, I would like to be able to use cmd+tab to switch between my windows applications. Right now, using cmd+tab to switch from one windows application to another results in my vm losing focus and I am redirected to an OSX desktop (after which I have to use cmd+tab a second time to go to the desired windows application).
