Posting this here since I didn't find a solution by searching the forums, but just poked around long enough to find a workaround.
The issue is that upon launch of Parallel Desktop for Mac (v20.2.0), the window with the list of VM did not appear and only the "Parallels Desktop" and "Help" menus...
Hi,
i would like to suggest a feature to sort virtual machines in the control center to groups which may be can expanded or reduced.
For Example:
+ Group 1
VM 1
VM 2
- Group 2
+ Group 3
VM 5
VM 6

Greetings, all.
Quick question about visibility of Control Center: If I start Parallels via directly starting up a specific VM, the Parallels Control Center does not display at all, even after choosing Control Center from the menu bar. When I start Parallels Desktop from clicking the app itself...
If I have a MacOS n VM it shows as "MacOS n" in Control Centre. If I upgrade it to MacOS n+1 it still shows as "MacOS n" in CC and I can't change it. Annoying. And anyway I use multiple MacOS VMs for various testing and I'd like to give them appropriate names; currently I can only colour-code...
Desperately need the ability to organize the control center with groups, and even SUB-groups... managing over 160 segmented and sub segmented (potential versions of complete VMs) is causing me to look back to VirtualBox or VMWare Fusion who have that ability.
Parallels 18.2.0
I had to free disk space and so I moved 3 VMs to an external disk. As a result two VMs didn't appear in the control center listing but one remained there.
How come? Trying to start it ends up (obviously) in a message saying there is no disk available. A snapshot seems to exist...
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?
How do you stop the new annoying feature of the VM in the control center jumping to the top of the list when you click it. I keep launching more than one VM because of this as the VM under the mouse still looks like it hasn't launched because the launching VM has jumped to the top!
Thanks
The control center starts getting real cluttered very fast when you have 10 or more VMs, which I do. This is more likely the case for developers (whom the pro version is marketed towards). We need a way to organize the VMs. This could be folders or a filter. I would prefer folders, but would...
Hi! Guys, i have some ideas. Can you add reboot button to Control Center? I need reboot my vm after system update. Sure, i can did it from terminal, but sometimes reboot is stuck.
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 changed my subscription to pro yesterday and can't change the order of the VMs in the control center ever since. It just jumps back to where it was. Also, after the upgrade, the order did change from what it was originally.
Is there a way to resolve this?
This morning (2020-12-21) I upgraded my Mac to Big Sur 11.1. It had already been on Big Sur... I assume it was on 11.0 before today. After I upgraded this morning, I opened Chrome, browsed a bit, and everything was good. But then, shortly after I later opened a Parallels Windows-10-Pro VM, I...
Hello,
it would be useful to have the number of used cores and the amount of assigned ram for every VM displayed in the control center,
It could be done similar to resource monitoring, but of course static.
For example on my MBPro I have 32 GB of Ram and 12 cores available
A VM that has 4 cores...
This is suggestion. I have over 10 different VM's on my MAC. Most of them are Windows Server of some sort. Each machine has a different set of software and databases. I would like to use the description field in the configuration field to be displayed on the Control Center page so I can just...
When I first installed Parallels for my MacBook the icon on the control center was the desktop picture in my MacBook. Today it's changed to a windows icon. How do I restore it to what is was before?
Thanks for reading.
Parallels version 14.1.3 (45485)
macOS Mojave version 10.14.4
I've noticed a couple times now that if I have a VM running and minimize the Control Center window, I can't get it to show back up. Even after I close the VM I generally have to quit the process and re-open to get the Control Center...
⌘M should be able to minimize the control center, it's a small detail but I find it important in all the programs I use. (Window > Minimize doesn't have a shortcut next to it)
