    I have noticed (over the past week) that the prl_disp_service is causing my MAC book
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), OSX EL Capitan (10.11.6) , i7, 16GB memory
    to run over 100% (115% avg) and my FANS to run fast, hot and loud every time I run my windows 7 in Parallels 11 (current version updated last time 10/08/2016). Windows 7 not changed as only getting work emails. otherwise all work done on MACOSX.
    When I shutdown Parallels all is back to normal.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled parallels but no difference. Run other VM OS in parallels but same situation.
    I have noticed in forums that this issue has been occurring on/off since early versions of parallels.
    Is there a fix that actually works ? my license runs out end of month so before I upgrade or get another I want to ensure that it is fixed prior to looking at alternatives if that is the case.
    Have others had this issue ? what has fixed it?
    I have not installed any applications to cause this and activity monitor indicates that the service is causing this issue.
    Note: I have run a number of diagnostics to determine that issue is the service, hence the post.
    Can someone at Parallels advise what the fix is ?
    regards

    Hi Maqs Ahmed,
    Perform the below steps as a work around & let us know how it goes.
    Note : Please back up your Windows before performing the below process to avoid loss of data.
    1. Quit from **Parallels Desktop**
    2. Open **Terminal.app** and execute these commands:
    cd /Users/username/Library/Logs/CrashReporter
    tar czf ~/Desktop/MobileDevice.tgz MobileDevice
    mv MobileDevice MobileDevice.old
    ( where username is the name of your Mac user account )
    3. Open **Parallels Desktop** and check with the issue.
    Additionally you can refer this link for troubleshooting the issue. If the issue still persist, kindly post us problem report ID reproducing the issue, we will be happy to provide further assistance.
    Thanks.

    Your suggesting is not relevant as the files/folders are not as you suggest.
    I have the following files in crashreporter folder:

    prl_vm_app_2016-08-11-160743_maqsoods-MacBook-Pro.wakeups_resource.diag
    or
    parallels.log
    parallels.log.n.gz
    I have raised ID report
    regards
