I just got a Macbook Pro and was planning on using Parallels with Windows XP on it. So far it works fine except for one big problem. While in Windows I'm unable to use a true dual monitor setup (but no problem in OS X). I'm able to move individual windows onto the 2nd monitor using the 'coherence. Open the 'Coherence' tab and check the 'Use multiple displays' option. Then open Parallels Desktop and go to Preferences -> Appearance menu. Check the ' Change Mac OS X resolution ' option. But with Parallels you can keep both Mac and Windows open at the same time, and move fluidly from one to the other -(you just opt to 'enter coherence' after turning on the machine). Not being familiar with Mac, it was tricky for me to instal it, but calling Parallels 1-800 number will give you all the support you need until its running perfectly.

I use Parallels Desktop (running Windows 10) and have an external monitor, but I dont want Parallels/Windows to detect/extend to said monitor automatically. I like having my Mac on one monitor and Windows on the other, and I can easily accomplish this by going to Display Settings in Windows and, under Multiple Displays, changing from 'Extend these displays' to 'Show only on 1'.

However, I am constantly moving throughout the day and connecting/disconnecting from the external monitor, and, every time I reconnect, Windows automatically detects the external and changes the display settings back to 'Extend these displays'.

How can I prevent this from happening? Exploring preferences for Parallels didn't come up with anything useful (although I may have overlooked it).

Running Parallels Desktop 12 on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6.

I have Parallels 10:- when the VM is open, in the Parallels Menu->View I see 'Use all displays in Full Screen' perhaps you can use this.- also there is a menu point Devices->External Devices->Configure.
