Feature Request: Take Snapshot on Shutdown 1. Need for snapshot on shutdown There are occasions when I want to take a snapshot immediately after shutting down Windows, when the VM has fully completed a clean non-update shutdown and entered the Stopped state. Today, the only way to do this is...

Currently Smartguard Snapshots appear to just randomly decide they are going to trigger. There are many examples why this is poor behavior as it cannot be controlled. In the middle of an critical teams meeting you could miss vital information, be cut off, or distracted. Interruption of work...

Hello, Snapshot is hung and will not revert or shut down unless I force quit the application. Windows went into a complete freeze so I decided to revert to a snapshot done earlier in the day. The earlier snapshot is also hung. This may be a hack by a DOD or NSA level hacker; find my Facebook...

Hello, I cannot revert to a snapshot that I created. My host computer is mac OS 14.5 using an M1 Max chip, and the virtual machine I am using is macOS 14.6 with virtual M1 Max chip. The image of the VM was newly created by download macOS via Parallels. I am running Parallels Version 20.1.0 (55732).

Whenever I try to take a snapshot of a macOS Ventura (13.7), the Control Center shows a spinning circle for hours. It never completes. I thought Parallels 20 was supposed to support snapshots on M1 hardware? I've got 646 GB of free disk space on the host. That should be enough to take a...

I am cleaning up some VMs that I have used for test. However, I cannot find out which snapshot has been used to create which linked clone as the text in the snapshot just says "Snapshot for linked clone". When I look at the list of snapshots I can see that there is a red line across the link...

Creating the first Windows 11 snapshot is taking forever, for how long should I still wait to finish the snapshot? I am using a MacBook Pro M2 MacOS Ventura v13.5.2 and the VM is with Win11 HD size 27.65GB

I just installed Parallels. I am trying to see how to create snapshots (sorry, if I'm confusing terminology with VMWare.) I'm running a macOS Ventura (ARM64) as a guest VM on the same type host OS. The manual says that the option to create snapshots is in the Actions menu. But in my case...

All - I have 2 VM's and never use snapshots. I had to make a few snapshots while having a problem with a Windows 7 update. I want to delete them. Can I delete from the Parallels software before starting up the W7 virtual machine? Or do I get W7 running then do it from the Toolbar?

Hi after upgrading from version 16 to 18 standard, I do not see how to take vm snapshot. I also do not see how to configure vm details and even after I installed the tools I do not see how to access host file system from the guest. Any idea why?

Hi, I've just installed the Parallels version for M1 Macs. I'd like to share my home directory from the host machine, in my virtual machine. Furthermore, I wish to save and restore snapshots in my VM. I've read some guidelines and this option is available in older version of parallels...

Hi all, I'm building macOS VMs for iOS development and automated testing. However, since we're running Parallels Desktop 17/18 on an M1 Mac, we can't use GitLab CI/CD runners anymore, because the snapshot functionality isn't available on M1 Parallels Desktop. Please, bring it back, it's a very...

After upgrading to Parallels Desktop 17, if you restore to a snapshot with a running OS (either windows or macOS), you are unable to type in the VM. Mouse events work, but keyboard appears to be disconnected. We've seen this on VMs running Windows 10 and macOS Big Sur - with the parallels...

Hi, i think that could be a great feature the capability of delete all snapshots before a certain snapshot. It could be the "complementary" feature of deleting snapshot and all following snapshots. Thanks in advance

Hello, I have Parallels Desktop Version 14.1.3 (45485) for Mac (macOS Mojave 10.14.6) and run Windows 10 on it. Whenever I launch Parallels and Windows, it gets stuck with the screen attached (spinning wheel), saying that it is deleting the snapshot - but it does that for eternity and Windows...

My VM is set to have automatic snapshots. When Parallels decides to delete snapshots it picks the most inopportune times to do so. Usually right in the middle of a deadline, so I am dead in the water with my VM for up to 25 minutes at a time. Parallels please let us be able to have the system do...

I am using Parallels Desktop in a Japanese environment, in which I am constantly hitting the Enter (Return) key to convert hiragana to Chinese characters. I set Parallels up such that it makes periodical Snapshots. But it takes forever for one Snapshot to be created, so when I am racing against...

I would like the ability to set weekly or monthly backups. The only backup duration is in hours... Backing up everyday is too often for me. Thats just gonna wear out my SSD. I don't even open my VM everyday.

Hello everyone. I am using Parallels Desktop 15.1 latest version on Catalina 10.15.6 Suddenly, my Windows 10 VM will not open, and when pressing play button to launch the VM, the VM says "creating snapshot" and will hang there forever. What's strange is that no safeguard was activated and no...

I have recently started experiencing complete Mac hangs and subsequent restarts (Kernel Panic) when SmartGuard has to delete a snapshot to create a new one. It also causes corruption of the W10 VM. Creating a snapshot without the need to delete an old snapshot is fine. Using...
