So, I was just trying to copy and past a url, when all of a sudden, the screen became completely unsaturated. Like this:Screenshot (2).png
Any idea how I could fix this?
 
I'd like to add to the above. I recently came across the same problem and also realized it was the Ease of Access color filter in Win10. It appears to be triggering intermittently when pressing the Mac's Command + C combination where Command+C is mapped to Control+C in the Windows VM. It's happened to me several times over the past few days since the most recent Windows update. I am running Parallels 13.1.1 (43120) and I believe it must be passing the Command key through to the Windows VM even though the key combination is mapped to Control+C, but only sometimes because it is not consistent. I've temporarily solved the problem by adding the custom keyboard command to the Parallels keyboard menu so I can quickly turn off the filter when it happens. Hope the above info helps.

Thank You for sharing us this information. Glad to know that you were able to sort out the issue. Please get back to us for any further queries. Thanks!
 
Parallels, can we get a fix for this? It is okay I can return colored display in personalize windows settings, but it is kinda annoying since it happens at least 2-3 times a day and absolutely unpredictable, especially when you are waiting copypasting behavior not the changing entire color palette...
 
I just got hit with the same issue. Thanks for the workaround! I'd originally reported this to Parallels Support several months ago but their only suggestion was to reinstall Windows 10 (which obviously fixed the problem, but was only a temporary solution as it came right back the next day). It's good to hear that Parallels is finally acknowledging this bug.
 
I can not find an "Ease of Access", just an "Ease of Access Center" where there is no option to turn off the colour filter.
I am clicking on the Windows logo and then on "Settings".
Was some configuration changed or am I just doing this the wrong way?
 
Hello @OctavianT ,
Please disable the Colour filter in the virtual machine by following the below steps.

Click Start Menu and open Settings(cogwheel icon).
