    Hi all

    I'm running Windows 7 in PD 10.1.2 in Yosemite. As the title says, I can't stop Windows going to sleep, which it does occasionally but not regularly, regardless of whether I'm running anything in Windows at the time. A bit of a pain, as it means I lose network connections on the Windows side and sometimes have to restart to restore them properly.

    I have all the sleep settings set to "Never" on the Mac side, the Windows side is set to follow the Mac side and I've confirmed that all Windows settings are showing as "Never". I've also made sure that "Pause Windows when no applications are open" is unchecked in configuration (as suggested in previous posts on this topic).

    Any ideas?

    Paul

    Hello Paul, Please follow the steps suggested below to resolve the issue.
    1. Uninstall Parallels Desktop 10 using PD uninstaller as suggested at http://kb.parallels.com/en/122653
    2. Download latest build ( 28956 ) from: www.parallels.com/directdownload/pd10 ( http://kb.parallels.com/en/111603 )
    3. Install it as suggested at http://kb.parallels.com/en/122647 (Note: un installing and re installing Parallels Desktop will not effect your Virtual Machine)
    4. Install Parallels Tools manually as suggested at http://kb.parallels.com/en/112609 and check if the issue still persisting.
