    This appears to be similar to some other USB related threads but here is my situation:

    MacBook Pro (Mid 2015)
    Parallels Desktop Pro Version 11.1.1 (32312)
    Windows 10 Enterprise
    External USB Wireless Adapter Permanently Assigned to VM

    I am experiencing an issue with my VM losing connection to a wireless USB WiFi adapter when I suspend or reboot my MacBook.

    • Wireless adapter attached to MacBook
    • Reboot or wake MacBook
    • OS X: Open System Information
      • Listed under USB > USB 3.0 Bus
        • 802.11 n WLAN
    • Start or wake VM
    • Parallels: Open Device > External Devices
      • No wireless adapter listed.
    • Windows
      • No wireless adapter detected
      • Refreshing devices in Device Manager does not detect adapter
    • Unplug USB adapter from MacBook
    • Wait 15-30 seconds
    • Plug device back in
    • DOS X: Open System Information
      • Listed under USB > USB 3.0 Bus
        • 802.11 n WLAN
    • Parallels: Open Device > External Devices
      • Wireless adapter listed
    • Windows
      • Detects wireless adapter and connect to network
    Any combination of suspending or shutting down the VM, suspending or shutting OS X produces the same results. I have tried removing the permanent assignment, updating the driver in Windows and adjusting the USB power settings in Windows. None have resolved the issue.
