    Things worked very fine for me for over a month, after installing Parallels Desktop Pro on my new M5 MacBook Pro, and then a Windows 11 Pro virtual machine. But yesterday I upgraded the Mac to 26.2 and now I no longer see it in Network in Finder. What could be the problem? I want to have relatively minimal sharing and integration between the Windows VM and the macOS host, just accessing it through a mounted network drive is fine.

    I mean, I see it, but then double-clicking on it, it says "Connecting..." and after a short while "Not Connected"

    Perhaps you have to review whether Local network permissions are assigned to Parallels Desktop, this solved my issue in the past, before MacOS 26.2
