    When a new version of Parallels is released and announced, allow the user to skip it and not see prompts for that version again. This eliminates repeatedly rejecting an upgrade that does not apply to me, e.g. a bug fix for Intel Macs when I'm using an Apple Silicon Mac, or for a Linux support update when I'm only using Windows.

    Hello,
    Please note that this feature is already present with Parallels Desktop.
    You can simply disable automatic update by following the below steps:
    1. Right-click the Parallels Desktop icon in the Dock and choose Preferences.
    2. Then click General.
    3. To choose whether you want Parallels Desktop to download updates automatically, select or deselect Download updates automatically.
    Kindly refer to this article for more information.
    Thank you.

    Thank you for the answer, Pramesh. However, what you describe is NOT the same feature as what I'm asking for. I'm asking to be informed of a new update when it's released, but to have the option to say "No/skip" *just once*, not being asked again and again every time I start Parallels.
