    Hi Folks,

    I have some Mac OS guest os VMs that run applescripts for many hours at a time unattended. These apple scripts use the clipboard in the guest os. Is it possible to disabled clipboard sharing between the hose and the macOS guest os? It's very annoying when I'm using the host computer and I go to copy and paste something, only to get the clipboard contents from what the AppleScript is doing in the guest os. Ideally, I'd like to keep clipboard sharing for my windows VM, but if I have to just disable it entirely, I can live with that.

    I have parallels toolbox installed on both host and the VMs. I'm on parallels pro for Mac v 19.2.1 (54832)

    Thanks!

    Hello,
    Thank you for reaching out to us.
    For further analysis, please perform the following steps:
    1. Confirm whether you are running a Host Mac of Intel Processor or Apple M-Chip Processor.
    2. 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 send the report's 9- ID in a reply to this message.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply. Host machine is an M! chip. I was able to fix this by uninstalling parallels toolbox on the VMs.
