    Windows 11 Pauses for Several Seconds

    I have the latest Parallels 20. I have a Windows 11 VM. While in the VM, the VM pauses for anywhere from a couple seconds to 10 seconds. Nothing happens. I can be on the main desktop with nothing running and try to start and app like settings and it will start to come up and then nothing works...

    VM stops responding and causes excessive CPU usage after running in the background

    I have a Virtual Machine running Windows 10 which stops responding after I let it sit in the background for 15-45min. It goes on to use 100-200% of my Mac CPU. The increased fan spin makes me aware it happened again. Sometimes this can be resolved when pausing the VM and resuming it again. Most...

    Issues with "pausing" when not in use

    Latest build of Parallels for OS X. Been running an admin system on it for a year (Win7) and did an upgrade to Windows10 for testing. For the life of me I cannot keep it from pausing. I've changed every setting in preferences off/on/off again and have checked my power settings in Windows...

    Long hangs and unresponsiveness in guest OS after last 2 PD14 updates prior to PD 14.1.2

    I am currently on PD version 14.1.2 (45479). Prior to the last two PD14 updates, performance was great and I had nothing to complain about. However, since those updates (particularly the most recent one), I've been experiencing constant periods of unresponsiveness in the guest Win10 VM...

    I have Win 10 on MacBook Pro 2018 13" running on Parallels Desktop on Mac OS X High Sierra. Question: when I close the lid (putting OSX in Sleep mode), does this automatically pause Windows 10? Asking as my battery seems to be draining very quickly when laptop is shut...

    Can I unplug external SSD where the vm image is in after I pause the VM?

    My vm size is growing, eating up all my mac storage(256GB). Now I'm planning to get a external SSD specially for my VM, so my MAC will have a relief... Currently I use the 'pause' function quite a lot so that I can quickly start using and stop using my windows. Why don't just leave it? My...

    Pause virtual machine with keyboard

    I'd like to be able to pause the virtual machine with a keystroke combination. Sometimes I have programs running that are CPU intensive, and only need to use the CPU when I am using it. it would be much easier to pause with the keyboard than with the mouse/trackpad. I would imagine it should...
