Setup: Parallels Desktop 27.1.0 (58756), macOS 27.2 on Apple silicon, Windows 11 on Arm (build 26300.9818) in Coherence mode. Windows applications are shared to the Mac and launched from the Dock.
What happens: since Parallels Desktop 27, launching a Windows application from its Dock icon first shows a small window. It holds the application's icon, its name, a progress bar and "Starting…". It closes about 0.35 seconds later, when the application appears. I never saw this window before Parallels Desktop 27.
Worth noting, the flash does not occur when I start the very same applications from Windows Start menu.
Questions:
1. Was this window introduced in Parallels Desktop 27?
2. Is there a setting, visible or hidden, to turn it off?
