    Unable to determine how to stop my Parallels 9 for Mac running Windows 7 Professional from suspending and then my Mac logs the current user off.

    Computer is plugged in and is charging.

    My Mac settings are:
    Screen Saver - starts after 1 hour
    Energy Saver - Power Adapter
    Computer Sleep - Never
    Display Sleep - 30 minutes
    Security - General
    Require Password 1 hour after sleep or screen saver begins

    My Windows 7 Settings are

    - Control Panel > Power Options > Parallels

    Plugged In - Turn off display - Never
    Plugged In - Put Computer to sleep - Never

    Some event (haven't pinned it down) is requiring me to enter my Mac password, but it is much less than 1 hour, and my Windows 7 session has been "saved" (thank goodness) but the suspending and requiring a password on my Mac isn't the behavior that I'm expecting.

    Any ideas or clues on what it might be?

    This is a known bug that still isn't fixed. I'm guessing you are using a relatively new retina MBP like I am. When using Coherence mode, the machine may randomly log out, which is what it sounds like is happening to you. Until it's fixed, try using fullscreen mode instead.
