    Hello friends

    honestly bought a macbook to use parallels. one machine for all the OS's I need to use is game changing. One week into my free trial now and i noticed that whether the hardware control panel on parallels is locked or not - parallels will without fail launch using minimum resources after the second or third boot.

    I set parallels to use 6 of the 8 cores of my m1 pro and 8 of the 16 gb of RAM and i crank the utilisation slider up to 'max' and then lock it with the padlock on the bottom left but without fail on the second or third boot it will revert back to minimum utilisation. What do I do here? Is this just an issue on the trials or will it always be like this? Re-considering the entire purchase if this isn't just a trial issue to be honest.



    thank you guys!

    Hello,
    Thank you for your feedback.
    To let us better understand the situation, please perform the following steps:
    1. Make the change to 6CPU and 8GB to your virtual machine's configuration > Launch it and Collect a technical report (click the Parallels icon on top of the mac menu bar > Help > Send technical data > check "Attach screenshots..." > press Send Report) and note the report's 9-digit ID
    2. Reproduce the issue > Collect an additional technical report (click the Parallels icon on top of the mac menu bar > Help > Send technical data > check "Attach screenshots..." > press Send Report) and send the report's 9-digit ID in a reply to this message along with the one collected at step 1.
    Thanks!
