    Hello everyone.
    I have a problem for quite a long time, but I feel it got worst since I upgraded my Mac to BigSur and upgraded Parallels to version 16. I have two VMs installed: one runs Windows 8.1 and the other one Windows 10. I still need the Windows 8.1 because of some old software I need to use.
    When I launch Windows 10, the other VM also starts automatically. When I launch the VM with Windows 8.1, the other VM does not get launched, which is exactly what I expect it to happen.
    Also, when I right click the parallels icon in my dock, I use to see both VMs, so I could launch it without the need to open Control Center. With Parallels 16, I can only see the VM with Windows 8.1.
    This is not the worst of the problems for sure, but it is surely very annoying.
    I lost hours trynig to find a reason why this happens and going around the forum, but still no success.
    Any ideas / suggestions?
