Color Square appears with Hololens emulator using Parallels 11 for Mac
Reposting question since Microsoft forum seems to think it has been answered: http://forums.hololens.com/discussion/2006/color-square-appears-with-hololens-emulator-using-parallels-11-for-mac-not-answered#latest
After the emulator opens up with the nested hyper v enabled, 8 gig's set aside, and 4 processors, it works fine for a little while, but for some reason a square colored cube appears in place of the Hololens store browser, or any browsers.
Any suggestions?

@AR123,
From your original thread, it appears that you created an application based on the default template in Visual Studio. The colored cube is to be expected as the emulator is running the application that has been launched.If you started your application by clicking the run button in Visual Studio,
you should be able to stop it by stopping the debugger.
If you started your application by selecting Debug > Start without debugging, you can stop it using the Device Portal. The emulator's toolbar has a button that will launch a browser and connect to the Device Portal.
You can use the App Manager page to stop your application ("scratch" in my example).
Thanks!
