Hello,
We have released Parallels Desktop 20.3.1 that addresses the issue. Feel free to update your instance of Parallels Desktop.
That's terrific, thanks so much, Maxim. I'll check it out this weekend, but it looks like another user has confirmed the functionality. Appreciate your team's work on this.
 
20.3.1 is still incorrectly bringing forward Windows Files Explorer to the foreground when it shouldn't. Excel is also acting funky again. Looks like I'm downgraded again back to 20.2.2
 
+1. Tons of issues with latest version that are destroying my productivity. Mostly happens in Coherence mode.
1) Windows button only intermittently works
2) When I Alt-Tab between applications, it incorrectly brings forward File Explorer to block my active applications (but it's just the image of File Explorer / if i click on it it disappears).
3) When I'm copy-pasting between a PDF and Excel, it will resize / move my excel application.

For me the first issue is fixed completely now in 20.3.1
For the other two, I am working in Coherence mode and I cannot replicate them. Using last production 24H2 build and last Excel 365. Can you provide more detail?
 
20.4 brings up a similar but different issue, the start menu now appears in the center of the page, as it does in non Coherence view, it also has a thick grey border around it and the screen flashes when the menu closes

Hi all, @Adarsh Jeetun I have fresh news, after updating with this optional windows update 2025-08 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 25H2 for arm64 (KB5064402), the behavior is back to normal :) . It seems related to .NET framework then.
