    macOS 26.4 on Apple M2 Max hardware. Update to 26.4 caused the pop-up to start appearing. ".lnk" was not associated with any application. Double-clicking the "Parallels Link.app" associated ".lnk" with "Parallels Link.app" and I have had no further issues with pop-ups, no matter how the pvms are launched, as reported by AndreasS49.

    I spent a long time wondering which options to choose. Neither of them meant anything to me.
    As the message indicated that 'CrossOver' had been opened in the past, I opted for that option, with the result (though it's not proven that there's a causal link) that the screen initially remained black when I tried to start Windows 11.
    I ignored this at first because I didn't know what to do. Every time the Mac restarted, Parallels was reloaded (because I'd enabled the option to reload all programmes at startup), the Windows screen was still black, and I continued to ignore Windows until, suddenly, it started up normally without any action on my part. Strange, but it suited me just fine, of course.

    This is still a problem, been 3 months. This and the Steam launch problem has been not a good experience lately.

    Last version, Parallels 26.3.0, and MacOS 26.4 solved this problem for me
