Unable to switch to Coherence mode

• In order to rectify your problem, please try to change the resolution of your computer.
• If you face an error “An error occurred while switching to coherence. Please try again.
• Please contact the Parallels support team for assistance in case the problem persists.”, while you are trying to roll back to the coherency view mode, try removing any anti-virus installed in your system.
• In this case, the issue might be due to faulty video drivers.
• You need to reset the Parallel Tools in your computer as the drivers for realistic devices are provided by Parallels Tool's case.

Unable to switch to Coherence mode

In instances when coherence is not working with multiple external monitors (especially using DisplayLink driver), here are the steps to solve the error:

 

1. In the Parallels Desktop, go to Menu > Preferences > USB tab.

2. In the "When a new USB device is detected:" select "Connect it to my Mac".

3. Delete any USB Devices that are listed under "Permanent Assignments:"

 

 

 

This should fix the problem encountered.
