Windows 10: Parallels Desktop 18 - Cannot set "PC Screen Only" as default

Hi team, I am using Parallels Desktop 18 to run virtual Windows on my Macbook Pro 14 M1.When I plug in my laptop to 2nd screen it is automatically set as "Extend" mode. It means I will see 2 Windows screens both in my Macbook screen and the 2nd screen.I used Windows + P to change from "Extend" to "PC Screen Only" then I can see the Mac OS in my Macbook. However, if I plug out the 2nd screen and plug it in next time, it automatically gets back to "Extend" mode.How can I set "PC screen only" mode as default setting in my windows 11 Parallels version? Appreciate any suggestion

:)

Setting the default input method for the Windows 10 login screen

I had the same question but with French being the default on Windows 10 rather than the one I wanted so I ended up here.

HoD is very close. I was able to use his suggestion to find the solution for me. This solution uses your current display and input language to change the Welcome screen and possible for new user accounts if you want. So make sure you have the display and input settings while logged in that you want to apply to the login screen before doing the steps:

1. Click the language on the Taskbar.
   
2. Then click Language preferences.
   
3. At the bottom under "Related settings," click "additional date, time, & regional settings" which opens the control panel
   
4. Click the "Region" option
   
5. Then go to the far right tab "Administrative". (HoD's step 2)
   
6. In the "Welcome screen and new user accounts" click copy settings. (HoD's step 3)
   
7. Tick "Welcome screen and system accounts" (and "new user accounts" if you want it to be applied to those as well). (HoD's step 4)
   
8. Click Ok. (HoD's step 5)
   

I was able to use HoD's suggestion to find the solution here. It's for Windows 8.1, but works on 10 so far.

Hope it will help you, too!
