macOS Catalina work?

Catalina as host. Parallels will not sleep. Shutting the lid of my MacBook Pro 2018 while Parallels is running results in complete battery drain.

Hi, could you please share more info with us? You cannot set your VM to sleep? Or your Mac hangs when you trying to turn it to sleep mode? Looking forward to your reply and also please generate the problem report after the issue reproduced.

I am running Parallels Desktop 11 on Catalina, and everything is working as normal with just one exception - when I choose 'coherence' view, a window opens as normal but it is just plain grey. If I go back to 'fullscreen' view then all is perfect :-)
 
Running the latest version of Parallels and Catalina 10.15 beta 3. When I launch one of my VMs, the host computer (iMac Pro) shuts off after a few seconds.
 
Sorry if posting to the wrong thread, but it seems most of the request related to Catalina.

I am using Parallels desktop 14.1.2 (45479) with public beta of Catalina .
FYI, encountered this bug during update to most recent update 10.15 Beta (19A512f):

Deleting logs solved the problem.

Also, if there change to obtain beta builds to restore broken shared desktop / folders functionality?
 
For the time being. I disabled Desktop and Documents in the Shared Profile settings. Than manually mapped Desktop and Documents in the Custom Folders settings. Then changed the location of the Desktop and Documents in Windows 10 to \\Mac\Desktop and \\Mac\Documents (In Explorer. Just right-click Properties on Desktop or Documents. Then Location). It's a few extra steps but it works!

We are glad that you have found a workaround for the issue and shared it here for all the users.
 
So I upgraded to Parallels 15 today since it said it was Catalina ready and I still have the error with shared profiles. I can see why, it's mapped to \\Mac\\Home\\Desktop and since I have iCloud Drive turned on my Desktop is not there. When I try to go in and remap it I get a permission denied error. Any help to get your "Catalina Ready" software to actually work with Catalina?
 
So support just responded to my request as to why shared profiles don't work with Catalina, even though Parallels 15 is specifically promoted as Catalina Ready. Essentially he says yeah it doesn't work, but we hope it will work in the future.

Thank you for contacting Parallels Support.

I installed Catalina on Parallel15 running in MBP2016 with Mojave. I'm able to start the OS but it doesn't detect the trackpad, and as it has already been mentioned, I cannot move the windows.. The driver detects standard click and right click (two fingers) but I cannot move any window, so its completely useless....

Updated Parallels tools, restarted the OS, but the problem is still there.

Please reproduce the issue, try to move windows, then please generate the tech.report and reply us back with the report ID.
 
I had a functioning Catalina beta 5 VM with PD 14 (latest version).
After upgrading to PD 15, as soon as PD 15 tools are installed and the system reboots, Catalina fails to startup, hanging at a black screen with a white Apple Logo. I've reverted to a snapshot a couple of times, and retried, but the result is always the same.

Just to add my $0.02 - Windows 10 is 'running' on my iMac Pro, but the responsiveness is pretty bad. Very slow screen refresh, IO is a pain. I have given it a lot of memory & CPU here but wondering if there is something up with graphics acceleration or something. I don't share filesystems or apps, so I'm not having the permissions issues already reported, but it's basically unusably slow.
