    Hello All,
    For weeks now I have been trying to figure out what causes my Windows 10 VM to what appears, be going to some sort of sleep mode, but ony when I am on battery. I have my Mac display set to turn off after 5 min, I have the computer set to sleep after 1hr. If I come back to wake up the display say after 10 min, my Windows 10 vm saying "Continuing" briefly when waking up. I do not want my vm to sleep at all, I only want the display to shut off. My setup worked fine before I installed Parallels 11 with Windows 10. Previously I was running Parallels 10 with Windows 8.1. I have checked and double checked and my vm is set to never sleep anything either when plugged or unplugged from power. I am not running in Coherence mode. The software that I use for programming is a Windows only program and when I wake up the display and it does this "Continuing" thing, it jacks up my programming tool and I have to restart all the time. I have tried search for "Windows 10 Continuing when waking up" but have not turned up anything that relates, I find it hard to believe that I am the only one that has this issue. I am trying up load a screenshot but I keep getting an error. Basically, it is a black screen that says "Continuing..."

    I have had a similar problem. When I open the lid of my Macbook I get a message saying something to the effect that the Windows 10 virtual machine is waking from sleep.

    I would think that when opening the lid, that would be normal behavior.

    For me, this happens not when opening the lid, BUT when I wake up the screen.

    Its not normal behavior when the virtual machine shouldn't be going to sleep at all.
