    Hi,

    I'm running the latest version of Parallels with a Windows Server 2016 VM and I quite often have this problem that when I move my fingers on the trackpad to scroll, it will bring up the Windows Task Switcher for no reason.

    Has anybody else seen this behavior?

    Hello Jurgen, are you trying to do a two finger swipe or three finger swipe on your trackpad? Thanks!

    Hi, in the mean time I noticed that it only seems to happen if I by accident start a one finger swipe and my finger is initialy not on the trackpad yet. So while i go left, when the finger hits the left side of the trackpad, it brings up the task manager. Maybe this is just some weird Windows behavior ?

    Thanks

    To autohide the Taskbar in Windows, please follow as suggested in this Microsoft blog http://www.thewindowsclub.com/auto-hide-taskbar-windows and see if this helps. Thanks!

    Hi, in your reply you are talking about the task bar in Windows. I'm talking about the task manager. That is thing you see when you press alt-tab in Windows. I see this same window when I use a single finger swipe that starts from the left side of my track pad. In older Parallels VM where I'm using Windows Server 2012 I do not have this behaviour...
