    Everything was working fine up until the latest Sierra patches that I installed today. Full Screen on both external monitors on my macbook pro was rocking right along in Win 10 VM on Parallels 11 (latest 11 patch). I don't want to go to 12 with all the multiple monitor issues...which I originally did and rolled back last December.

    Now the 2nd monitor shows blue in Windows 10 VM, even though Display Settings list both monitors.

    If I reinstall Parallels tools, and choose "Postpone" then it shows both monitors properly and I can drag/move windows to the 2nd monitor OK. However, upon a reboot the 2nd monitor is back to blue and there is no mouse/keyboard access at the desktop (it boots into Windows desktop without username/password if you are wondering).
    If I go to the mac side and exit full screen on the Win 10 VM settings, then I get mouse/keyboard back. If I uncheck "use all monitors in full screen" then go Full Screen then I get keyboard/mouse fine again immediately without any changes except now I only have a single external monitor displayed.

    Any chance anyone has any ideas how to get Parallels 11 working again with multiple monitors on my Win 10 VM without losing keyboard/mouse access? It's very odd.
