Hello, please add the following boot flag
devices.smbios.board_id="default"

and check the issue.
Looking forward to your reply.
 
Does the Parallels team have any solution on the issue where the user enters the password in Big Sur but it returns to the login screen again? This is an issue that I am facing now and I also realize that others have the same issue.
 
FYI all, the Parallels tech support was awesome. Reviewing the missing keyboard presses for T, Y, 1, 2, they found a way to workaround neatly.

Simply to go into Parallels app > Preferences > under your "Virtual Machine" (ie Windows 10), > Shortcuts > Add new shortcuts where you map "1" to "1", and so on. It's made life back to normal!

Does anyone know when Parallels will start selling their next version? Historically speaking Parallels usually launches the new version before the new Mac OS version and bugs that occurred with the old Parallels on the new OS version are mitigated in the new version. This way they keep the one-year subscription going.
 
Hi, Did anybody face this, after installing Mac OS Big Sur on a parallels VM (upgrade from 10.15.6), I am stuck at the log-in screen, it accepts the password cursor keeps circling and then screen goes dark and comes back to the log-in screen again.
 
  1. Create a new Parallels VM by installing a fresh copy of macOS Catalina from Recovery Partition (or use existing VM) and Resize disk drive to be at least 90 GB if you have to copy the Big Sure image to the applications folder to proceed with the installation
  2. DO NOT INSTALL Parallels Tools or uninstall it if it's already installed (tools are needed to drag and drop the Big Sure image from real mac to the CatalinaVM Application folder, then uninstall them
  3. Login to Apple Developer Program with safari, always in CatalinaVM, to recognize and authorize the virtual macOS
  4. remove the user login password, which you have set in CatalinaVM, so that at the end of the installation of Big Sure it is not asked to avoid problems
  5. install Big Sure.... .after the necessary time, about 1 hour, the procedure will be completed and there will be automatic login in Big Sure ... the system seems a little bit unstable and it can happen suddenly that the login mask for entering the password is displayed (bug ...) insert it and you return to the desktop ... some icons are missing in the upper right bar (bug ...)

Hello, could you please share a bit more details about the issue with us?
Also could you provide us with the screenshots of the issue?

I could only install Parallels 15 on Big Sur after removing a previous installation of VirtualBox. (It had kernel extensions that messed up the dependencies of Parallel's kernel extensions.) Even after getting Parallels running, its kernel extensions are still shadowed in /Library/StagedExtensions/Applications/Parallels Desktop.app, even though they successfully load. Parallels doesn't quit gracefully; I have to force-quit it.

I too noticed the bizarre bug of the "t", "y", and "2" keys not registering unless I create modifier-key-less shortcuts for them in the Parallels preferences. That's almost a usable workaround... in another bizarre twist, there's a short delay after typing shortcuts, during which no other key registers. E.g., if you type "tu" in rapid succession, you just get "t", but if you wait a little bit in between you get both characters. I hope this weird bug is easy to squash, because it's extremely annoying. :)

I have too same problem when input key 't', 'y','1','2'. I can't input 4 letters. But do work when with shift key like T, Y, !, @.
I am looking forward to wait this solution, at least temporal method. Thanks
