    When I manually chose the Pause Command the open windows darken somewhat.
    When I just stop using Windows for longer than the 15 minutes I've chosen they do not.

    Is the Auto-Pause working ?

    Thanks

    Running PD 16.1.3
    I did not have Parallels Toolbox installed.
    After installing it the open windows still do not darken.
     
  3. Parallels Tools and Parallels Toolbox are different.
    Parallels Tools is a Parallels Desktop component.
    Please check this link and reinstall Parallels Tools.

    So I uninstalled Parallels Toolbox.
    Then - I reinstalled Parallels Tools. My Bad.
    Still not dimming however.
    I assume inactivity pertains to using Windows apps (Quicken) in the VM only. I'm still using open Mac apps.
    I wouldn't mind having a "Suspend after Inactivity" option while it's on my mind.
    Thanks
