My windows 10 OS VM is periodically suspending automatically. How do I stop this? Last night I ran the "Disk Cleanup" tool but there was no warning that this could potentially suspend the VM. Other times I've done nothing it has also suspended itself. I captured the following from parallels.log but I can't tell "why" it decided to suspend the VM. This is an iMac so there's no option to configure Travel Mode. Thanks for any help!

Hi JoelP2. Please shut down the virtual machine by selecting Actions (from Mac menu bar) -> Shut down. Open the configuration window, select Startup & Shutdown option and uncheck 'Pause Windows when possible' option so that the virtual machine will not suspend automatically.
Hi Sathiya, unfortunately I already had "Pause Windows when possible" un-checked - so that's not the cause. Going back to my original question, is there a log file or way to know WHY it was suspended to help track this down? Thanks, Joel
