VS Studio freezes on Parallels 12 upon awakening from sleep

IanD5 said:
Hi There, I am also having this problem. I am using windows 10 and VS2017. I Just tried to reinstall everything. Windows/VS and latest Parallels and nothing has fixed it. If anything it is worse and now happens 100% of the time after my VM sleeps. It's driving me crazy as I only use my VM for Visual Studio.

Hi Ian, can you please share some more details about this: "now happens 100% of the time after my VM sleeps."?
Do you mean that it happens every time you wake up your Mac? Or you put VM to sleep manually?
Also, can you please generate core dump and send us technical data report once the freeze happens?
Use there instructions: http://kb.parallels.com/en/121323
I will send you the upload location in private.

This is a different problem to the topic of this thread. So much so it should have had its own thread.
The topic of this thread - that Visual Studio crashes regularly after a system resumes from sleep - is still very much present on 12.2.0 (41591).
 
I'm also experiencing the same issue on v12.2.0 (41591). Still happening as of this morning (4/23/2017).
Windows 10 with Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 v15.1 (26403.7) on host machine Macbook Pro 2015 with 16 gigs.
This seems to happens when coming out of sleep. Sometimes I can't even kill the process and have to reboot the whole Windows.

Ironically, I have been suffering with this for months and months, and just the other day there was some windows updates and an Update to Visual Studio 2017 and the issue has now totally disappeared :| I could't tell you which update fixed it - Sorry !!

Thank you for the update, @IanD5!
Guys, who have the same issue, please check if there are any Visual Studio updates available as well.
 
Happened to me again yesterday with both Visual Studio 2015. I am getting pretty frustrated there seems to be nothing being done about this issue (but the Windows taking forever to boot issue is much worse). I waste so much time with this program...

Hi @RichardP10, I am sorry to hear that.. Do you want to help investigate the issue? We would need you to collect a memory dump and send a report. Please let me know, if yes - I will send you the details in private message.
 
I have encountered the same problem. It's very annoying to me. I'd like to help you guys to investigate this issue. Please let me know what I can do for you.

Thanks
 
This only seems to happen to me when I unplug my Mac from power, my USB hub (keyboard, mouse etc) and external display. I think it's something to do with display drivers. When the Mac is left plugged-in, it's fine, even with multiple sleeps. Unplugged is when the issue starts occurring.

Hi @NeilB1, please create a Problem Report for the virtual machine as described here and provide us with the Problem Report ID to further investigate the issue.

I could see this being a graphics acceleration issue or something, because if I have chrome open in windows VM, when I wake up the macbook, chrome app doesn't render properly until I do something in the web browser.

Hi @JonC3, try switching between integrated and discrete video cards will resolve the issue.
To switch between the adapters, go to virtual machine configuration window -> Options -> Optimization - Power
* For integrated graphics (CPU) set 'Longer battery life'
* For discrete video card set 'Better performance'
You can also choose "No limit" for Resource usage.
