    I use Parallels Desktop 17 on macOS Sonoma 14.1 on a MacBook Air M1.
    When Parallels Desktop is open it displays a wrong app name in the app menu.
    Instead of showing "Parallels Desktop" it shows "Apple".
    Here is a screenshot:

    Try going to the Menu Bar and find the "Window" item. Then open "Control Center" and you'll see Parallels with all the VMs you have.

    Thanks but this is not the reason why I posted this. I have no problem to find the control center and see all the VMs.
    Its just strange that in the app menu the app name is "Apple" instead of "Parallels Desktop".
    This was not the case when using macOS Monterey. It just started in macOS Sonoma.

    Hello!
    The issue has been fixed in Parallels Desktop 19.1.

    It was fixed in 19.1, so this doesn't help those of us who made a one-time purchase of an earlier version. I know it doesn't affect functionality but it fools me once in a while. I think I'm closing the wrong app.
