    Taking a screenshot of another desktop or VM no longer works after upgrading to MacOS 15

    Hello! I'm used to take screenshots (via Capture Area tool) inside my Win11 VM. After upgrading to MacOS 15, switching the desktop deactivates the Capture Area controls. Is there a way to fix? I run my VM in full screen as a separate desktop, so I normally change the desktop to MacOS, activate...

    Update Parallels Tools Greyed Out Mac OSX Ventura - Client Windows XP

    With the last two releases (at least) of Parallels my Windows-XP client is unable to update. I also of a Windows-10 client and the Update Parallels Tools is not greyed out under "Actions". That makes no sense. So Windows-XP can't access the Mac OSX home folders, but Windows-10 can. Running...

    Find Duplicates - (1) Safe to use? (2) Huge Discrepancy/ Difference?

    Is it safe to delete all (319,000+) files located/ found by the "find duplicates" tool provided by Parallels? Currently, on my machine, the tool claims it can free up 40+ GB of space, yet other similar applications, such as Gemini 2 and Duplicate File Finder Remover, claim only to free up 20+ MB...

    I was asked to install a new driver when I attempted to use Screen Recorder widget for the first time with default system audio output as sound source.

    Disk Clean: No space freed despite 10 GB estimate

    Just now I ran Parallels (latest) Toolbox's Disk Clean on my Mac but it appeared not to live up to its promise.

    Desktop Pro & Toobox

    Howdy- I couldn't easily find an answer to my question, so I'll try a post here. Does the Pro and/or Business version of Parallels Desktop come with all of the Toolbox features? I came here looking for a trusted app for grabbing online videos (legally), but discovered the dual OS operability...

    Parallels Toolbox menubar bug on macOS Catalina

    The Parallels Toolbox app is seriously misbehaving on my MacBook Pro, running Catalina 15.1 Final. Had a conversation with an Adobe rep on Facebook yesterday, which I'm copying below. They recommended a reinstall of PT, which I did and which solved the problem for awhile, but it's back to...

    Is Toolbox required for Desktop to function?

    I feel like any issue I have with Parallels involves this Toolbox function. I just want to run Windows, transfer files between OS, and share peripherals (including LAN). All the stuff found in Toolbox is fluff to me (Personally, I can't imagine why this even exists. Do people use Download...

    Hide Menu Icons jerking my mouse around

    I have enabled only a single Toolbox app: Hide Menu Icons. Generally it works well. However, often after waking my Mac from sleep or disabling the screen-saver, my mouse cursor leaps all about the screen for many seconds. I can move it, but then it magically leaps to somewhere else. This happens...

    Suggestion for adding one little tool to Parallels Toolbox (Mac): a show/hide hidden files. The code for that should be minimal. It consists of bundling, within an app, a switch to choose one of the two shell commands: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES killAll Finder...

    Find Duplicates

    So I see in v2 there is a new tool to find duplicates. This does not appear in my list of tools in v2.0 of the toolbox for Mac. Is this feature only available on the PC? Will there be updated documentation available for the entire toolbox with the new features released soon? Thank you.
