I found the article at https://kb.parallels.com/128867 very helpful in explaining some issues I am having, in particular that I have described in my update from yesterday at https://forum.parallels.com/threads/cannot-recreate-guest-macos-vm-with-clone-of-my-macos-workstation.349736. The KB article explains that USB devices cannot be attached, which explains the issues I was describing on that thread. However, I have found two additional issues: I tried registering the macOS vm to get the Configure options as described the the KB article above. It says that it is already registered, yet there is no "second VM with the Configure gear" showing. Here is what I get: jas@iMac4 ~ % prlctl register /Users/jas/Virtual\ Machines/macOS\ 12.macvm Register the VM... Failed to register the VM: "macOS 12" is already registered. You cannot register a virtual machine more than once. jas@iMac4 ~ % I had created the macOS VM by installing the version available in the Parallels Installation Assistant > Free Systems > Download macOS. I wanted to test updating the 12.6 version of the OS to 12.6.6. I tried twice. Each time, the full upgrade ran as expected. However, when the VM restarted, it was still at 12.6. Is this a bug or a feature? That is, can the downloaded 12.6 be upgraded to the latest version of Monterey.
I have the same issues with 12.6.6 on parallels 18.3.0. Always the same version after a complete upgrade. I tried this before upgrading the host to 12.6.6 and after I upgraded the host itself successfully to 12.6.6. But no luck. So must be an issue with the parallels version. I am on M1
