    I wondering if there is a setting that can be used to stop a guest screen saver from activating because the user is still active in the host machine. My example: I have a user that is using Parallels with a Windows guest computer connecting for our Active Directory and getting a group policy that sets the screen saver to start and lock the machine after 15 minutes. The users is still active on the Mac and I would like the Windows machine to not lock because of that. Does anyone know if that is possible with a setting within Parallels? I have another way to do it but it requires me to create exceptions to our GPO and I'm trying to avoid that if possible.

    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure how to send screenshots of the message. There is no message, just the screensaver appears and pulls the focus away from any other window (mac app) that is being used. I am on Version 13.2.0 (43213). This really disrupts my workflows (more than the disruption caused by our IT policies ). Any help is appreciated.

    EDIT: I wanted to mention that I am using Coherence mode.
