Set Windows to Take Up the Whole Screen

You can set Windows to occupy your entire screen, so it looks just like it would if you were using a Windows PC. In Full Screen mode, macOS and all of the Parallels Desktop controls are hidden.

To switch to Full Screen mode, do one of the following:

  • From Coherence mode, click the Parallels Desktop icon in the menu bar, then choose View > Exit Coherence . Then click the View menu and select Enter Full Screen .
  • From Window mode, choose View > Enter Full Screen or click the Full Screen icon PD_Full Screen icon in the top left corner of the virtual machine window.

To exit Full Screen mode, do one of the following:

  • Press Command-Control-F.
  • Move the pointer to the top of the screen until the macOS menu bar appears and click View > Exit Full Screen . If you're using Full Screen optimized for games, press Control-Option (Alt) to display the Mac menu bar.
