    Hello,
    When I am launching the Word on Windows 10 on Parallels on my iMac, the icon of my Time Machine disk disappeared from my desktop. The time machine software stops to backing up my HD since the disk has disappeared.
    It appears again when parallels is closed and quitting.
    Why?
    What should I do in order to make parallels and time machine living peacefully next to each other.

    Thanks and regards

    Hi ZviG, Try to Isolate VM from Mac. Reinstall Parallels Tools and check whether Issue persists. Please refer to this article to know more about Time Machine back up.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I am not sure where can find the Reinstall Parallels Tools
    Can you remind me.
    The link you gave me didn't gave me any positive answer as to restore my time machine disk on desktop and it availability to be backed up.
    Looking forward to your instructions.

    Regards

    Zvi

    Hello,

    I have tried to reinstall Parallels Tools. It went well, but it did not change the issue of a conflict between the Virtual machine and the time machine. It continues to disappear as soon as the parallels is launched.
