    I'm running Parallels 18 on MacOS Ventura 13.4.1
    On the Mac, when I invoke the Application Switcher (using Cmd+Tab), along with the Parallels app, I'm also seeing icons for Windows 11, and the various Apps that are running in Windows. I would prefer to ONLY see the icon for Parallels, and then if I want to access different apps inside Windows, use the Windows keyboard shortcut (Opt+Tab) to switch between them.
    Is there a way to ONLY have the Parallels app icon show up on the Mac?
    Or alternatively, only have the Windows app icon show up?
    Thanks.

    that's not what we were talking about. (Dock) We're talking about the application switcher. (Cmd+tab)

    Same here! Just installed Parallels and i'm going crazy seeing all cross referencing!
    I want Windows to be isolated from macOS! Is there a way?

    Open the Parallels Control Center. Click the Configuration wheel (next to the power button) for your virtual machine. In the Configuration screen, switch to the Options tab, select the Applications item and disable Share Windows applications with Mac.
