    Hello,
    I'm currently having an issue with Windows 10 on Parallels Desktop on a Mac running High Sierra 10.13.4.
    I put my laptop to sleep last night and now when I try to use Windows I'm getting a glitched out screen that looks like the image attached.
    Has anyone ever had this problem or might know what is happening? I have a bunch of unfinished school work that I need to access.

    Hello ian8, Kindly start the virtual machine and go to the top menu bar, click on Actions--> Take snapshot. once the snapshot is done then again click on Actions--> Reset and then check with the Windows virtual machine. Let us also ensure that Parallels Tools are properly installed. Please follow https://bit.ly/2N1mrkW to install Parallels Tools. If you see reinstall or update Parallels Tools then kindly reinstall it.

    I think Parallels are one of the top software companies anywhere. Their application allowing W10 to work on a MAC is a stable, solid work. I had the problem described above and did a snapshot and a reset. Now I can get on and complete my work. I have great respect for this company and their staff. Well done.!!
