In Parallels Desktop Pro for Mac, with a Windows 10 VM. The VM Config > General offers a (Configure for) Software Testing mode. When that mode is selected, there is nevertheless a further "isolate" option under VM Config > Security, namely Isolate Windows from Mac. Why is the meaning/purpose of...

Are there items in the Control Center that are not available for MAC VM's? I am using an M1 and have created 2 VM's. However, I notice that some of the features from the manual are not available, like Snapshot. Also, the settings button is not available. Any thoughts?

I have seen these issues in posts since October 2021. It is now May 2022, and as near as I can tell, I have the most up-to-date possible computer and system currently: M1 Max, 16" 2021 Monterey 12.3.1 Parallels 17.1.2 MacOS VM 12, just downloaded last night. Parallels Tools installed on both...

I am evaluating Parallels Desktop for Mac PRO v17.1.2 and I created a MacOS 12.3 VM based on the instructions here . Once I import the VM in the control center, the VM lacks the configuration button How do I enable that for an existing VM?

I use a 13" MBP (16 GB) to run a Monterey guest on a Monterey host (macOS 12.3.1) with Parallels 17.1.2 (51548). Parallel Tools are installed in the guest system. I find no options at all to configure my VM. None of these: shared folders screen size coherence mode name of VM HW settings like...

I'm running Parallels Desktop for Mac Version 17.1.1 (51537). My host is on macOS 12.2.1, and my guest is running macOS 12.2. My guest doesn't have an internet connection for some reason, which sounds like this issue: https://kb.parallels.com/en/124537 But the instructions say to open virtual...

Hi, I use the 17 pro edition for Mac, but I can't see the "Show in System Preference" check from the network setting. This is what I have: This is what it had in the KB article. https://kb.parallels.com/en/5557

Currently there is no advanced setting option on the configuration page. I'm trying to make it so Parallels uses my Mac GPU memory, so I need to check the box: 'Automatic Graphics Switching'. But the option is not even there! Does anyone know how I can access the advanced settings?

I am trying to enable this feature, however it's not showing up where it's supposed to in the control center. I shut down the VM and this is exactly what it shows in my control center, in the picture attached. I am using an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020) with 3.1 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5...

I am attempting to change the hard disk size of my Windows virtual machine, but get a popup stating "Unable to edit the hard disk properties because it has one or more snapshots. To edit the disk properties, "Windows 10 (1)" must have no snapshots." However, when I follow the "Manage Snapshots"...

I updated to the latest parallels version and when Windows opened again, it lost all access to files stored on the Mac. I went to Actions / Configure and then the Sharing tab. Neither 'All disks' or 'Custom Folders' returns access to the files stored on my mac. Can anyone advise on how to...

Hi, I am new to Parallels and just installed it tonight along with macOS Mojave as a vm. The initial installation set a configuration I don't like so after the installation, I have made hardware settings changes: increased processors, graphics memory, and storage but none of the changes are...

I installed Parallels on my Mac Mini (High Sierra, i7, 16GB RAM, 256GB ssd) to allow me to run some Windows photo editors. The apps all seem to work properly, but they run very slowly. My Mac Mini is not a powerhouse, but I think things ought to run more quickly than they do. Is there any way to...

I found what is arguable either a bug or a (misguided, IMO) attempt to make the UI 'simpler'. Either way, it's incredibly confusing. What's occurring is that the Configuration->Hardware->Graphics options are not available in the Parallels configuration UI after a certain series of events...

In PD12 I could disable auto-pausing in Virtual Machine Configuration > Options > Optimization with unchecking "Pause Windows when possible". I cannot find this option in PD13. As a result remote access is not possible when the VM is auto-paused.
