    [FIXED] Transparent VM windows

    No it hasn't... Windows just updated to 24H2 and I have this problem.. My Windows VM is rendered useless! I was working on project that I've got to bring to a close, and now this THIS?! I didn't anticipate this being an issue, at all. It starts to feel like this happens to me, every...

    Infinite Resume Spinner

    Just noticed this issue myself when checking for updates earlier today. This is the message: After doing some light searching, it looks like another use experienced this in 2019 w/ Parallels Desktop 14.1.3. Sadly, the instructions were, uninstall, reinstall, reboot which is inevitably...

    Parallels 17 (Pro) Issues

    @WesleyP1, Thanks for sharing that link! That's interesting to me, makes me think about the move to ARM processors. Somehow though, Docker for Mac is able to run x64 Linux images on M1/ARM procs.

    Parallels 17 (Pro) Issues

    @WesleyP1 Ahh, I'm still on the Intel i9. Is the Windows VM in the Parallels configured to use a x64 processor by chance? I believe that there are now ARM editions of Windows 11, though, I don't know how broad the reach is just yet for applications & drivers, etc. (This reminds of of the...

    Parallels 17 (Pro) Issues

    I had this stuttering and total lock of my MacBook pro (both the VM and on the macOS side) in Big Sur. I've uninstalled the Parallels tools in my Windows VM, only for it to seem to return shortly after a Windows Update. However, that said, I finally upgraded to Monterey and all the stuttering...

    Windows 11 VM runs slow

    @MarcoW2 thank you so much! I've been trying to figure out what was causing my Windows 11 VM to freeze shortly after startup. I didn't think of uninstalling/reinstalling the Parallels Tools. I wonder if there was something left behind between an upgrade to Parallels and when Windows 10...

    Windows 10 VM freezing, causing Mac to grind to a halt

    darn it hit enter too soon! anyway... @JakeS13, check to see if time machine is doing a backup - this has caused issue(s) for me while running Parallels. I use a utility called Time Machine Editor (https://tclementdev.com/timemachineeditor/) to have a bit more control when I want it to make...

    Windows 10 VM freezing, causing Mac to grind to a halt

    This just started to become an issue for me recently as well. @JakeS13

    Parallels 17 (Pro) Issues

    Also, just noticed the multi-monitor full screen "I have to click it to interact with it first" bug is back... I used to be able to move my mouse across monitors and nat have to click the full-screen "window" to interact with the VM there - maybe I should post this in another thread. How do...

    Parallels 17 (Pro) Issues

    I've noticed that the disk I/O is incredibly slow now on PD17 (it was fantastic in PD16). On another note, I switched to the Apple hypervisor sometime ago to save the fan life on my MacBook Pro - I find the fans don't run as hard and less heat is generated when using Apple's hypervisor. That...

    PD 17 Win10 Pro / Outlook indexing hangs

    Possibly related, I've noticed that the disk I/O is horrendous in PD17. I'm kind of regretting not waiting for a while now...

    Windows 10 Performance Degradation when using npm/yarn

    After doing some hunting around the forums, I came across some older posts that described switching to the Apple hypervisor. I have to say, it feels like I'm running Windows 10 at native speed! It's crazy how different the performance is especially when dealing with high disk I/O from...

    Windows 10 Performance Degradation when using npm/yarn

    I've noticed while developing a web application that over time the performance is horrible after a while and I believe it may be related to something to some kind of disk I/O or throttling. I cannot put my finger on it other than the many years of experience I have using VS in a parallels VM on...

    Firefox on Parallels

    Forgot to mention my system specs: MacBook Pro 16-inch 2009 Processor: 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 Memory: 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

    Firefox on Parallels

    I've finally reached a breaking point, this basically makes Firefox WORTHLESS in a Windows 10 VM. I get the same blinking GPU fragments of black and instability EVERY time I visit these sites such as: Microsoft Docs - .Net Home: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/ (I can sometimes get...

    Windows 10 Nearly Unusable in Parallels 16 macOS Catalina or Big Sur

    So to follow up, that actually did the trick for me as well it seems. But I still have issues with Firefox when visiting this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/. I have a screen recording but it's too big to upload.

    Windows 10 Nearly Unusable in Parallels 16 macOS Catalina or Big Sur

    I found this post, it may be or may not be related, but I'm going to try the sfc /scannow, chkdsk /r commands etc to see if perhaps that would resolve it. https://forum.parallels.com/threads/slow-parallels-14.345326/#post-845944

    Windows 10 Nearly Unusable in Parallels 16 macOS Catalina or Big Sur

    I've recently noticed this too - it seems incredibly sluggish until the GPU fans kick up, but until then plugged in or not, is like watching molasses. I'm running MacOS Catalina on a 2019 MacBook Pro w/ 64GB ram, so this shouldn't be an issue IMO. I'm not sure if this started after one of...

    Windows 10 VM freezes for 5 to 15 seconds regularly since High Sierra - Parallels 13.0.1 (42947)

    *Knock on wood!!! It looks like disabling TRIM support on the drives for my Windows VM did the trick! I have Spotlight indexing enabled, ran Windows updates while running VS2019 and Docker Desktop, all without freezing! I ticked it in a previous version of Parallels Desktop and didn't think...

    Windows 10 VM freezes for 5 to 15 seconds regularly since High Sierra - Parallels 13.0.1 (42947)

    I've been fighting this problem since late 2019. I have been wondering if it's the SSD going bad on my MBP late 2013 w/ MacOS 10.14.6. I just disabled TRIM support on my drives connected to the VM and am waiting for it to complete "checking the disks after improper shutdown". I couldn't do...
