Hello,

Thank you for the report.

The issue is under investigation of our Development Team. When the fix is ready, it will be included to the one of the updates of Parallels Desktop.
Regrettably there is no solution for now, so please stay always updated.

Appreciate your cooperation!
 
Ditto .. same problems.
Since upgrading to 10.0.0 late last week this has been killing my Macbook Air's battery ... close the lid, should go to sleep, but this error is keeping the machine alive, flattening the battery much quicker than it should.
This is a MAJOR issue. When do you think the fix will be in place?
Cheers

Hi Cenika,

Plz generate a Problem Report via Parallels Help menu and post the report ID here. We'll check it for you.

Refer to this article for more details http://kb.parallels.com/9058
 
Hi Manoj, Thanks. Report created: ID 49205542. Hope you can fix this.
(this might be the second post of this same info ... the first post doesn't seem to have made it / not sure what happened there, so trying again. Apologies if this comes through twice)

I think I have the same problem. My VM (windows 8.1) hard crashes all the time as well, and I get the same type of error messages in my console logs. I'd like to see a quick fix to this as well, as it is very hard to be productive in my VM like this.

I have the same problem, and I think it is a problem which the VM use much resources of my mac. It just appear when I playing games or other things like this.
Any one can fix it?
