# Running Windows in Full-Screen Mode

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 green Full-Screen icon (green) 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.
