    Scroll Speed / Two-Finger Trackpad / Scroll Wheel on Windows 11 is inconsistent (too fast or slow)

    So I'm running multiple instances of Windows 11. In one instance, when I use the macOS two-finger scroll trackpad gesture to scroll text in an application, it is slow and laggy. Like, I might move my fingers, and then for a few seconds after I'll watch a text pane jitter here and there trying...

    Wayland support for Parallels Tools? (Dynamic Resolution, Clipboard, Coherence, etc.)

    What's the situation currently with Wayland support for Parallels Tools? I'm running Parallels Desktop 20.4 on macOS 15.5 with several Linux guests, but when those VMs log into the default Wayland session, all Parallels-specific integrations disappear. The most troubling is that there's no...

    Error deleting snapshot

    I'm not exactly sure how to classify my issue but I seem to be stuck in some sort of snapshot/disk space error loop. It started with deleting snapshots. I was able to cleanly delete one old snapshot (the oldest). I then wanted to delete another (the now oldest) - that one did not delete cleanly...

    /usr/bin/prlcc causes dead/unclickable areas on screen edge after snapping window

    As the title says, I was confused for a very long time because in Linux (X server only-not wayland) whenever I snapped a window on the screen edge inside the vm, it caused this area to become unclickable. E.g. even if I moved the window, I was not able to click anything on that area!. xprop...

    SmartGuard keeps creating snapshots at the most inconvenient times

    I have enabled SmartGuard on all my VMs, because I back them up using TimeMachine. However, SmartGuard usually waits for me to turn on the VM, and once it's up and running, prompts me to create a snapshot. Of course I can disable the prompts, but then it just takes the snapshot right away...

    Please fix this bug: check for updates automatically

    hi, Every time Parallels reboot, it automatically checks for update - even though the 'check for updates automatically' is 'unchecked'. This is so annoying. Some of us want to continue using older versions of Parallels for various reasons. Please fix this annoying bug. Thanks

    Travel Mode activation request but no way to control it

    Today Parallels Desktop Pro 20.3.1 displayed a dialog asking if I wanted to enable Travel Mode for a running macOS VM. I suppose that it happened because I was running low of battery.
