    Hi Team,

    On my partners iMac Yosemite running Parallels 10, when starting Windows 7 she has just started get an OSX message there is a wrong checksum in the Virtual Machine Partition. Then I get a Windows Error recovery indicating that Windows was not properly shut down, the Volume is "Dirty" and CHKSDK is run to fix the volume. This is time consuming.

    I thought this might be a version issue so upgraded to latest El Capitan, and Parallels 11, but still the same when I start OSX.

    The only solution is to close Windows in the VM, then shut the iMac down. I can't guarantee my partner will always do this, nor should it be necessary as there seem to be many options for closing Windows when I shut down the iMac.

    I don't know why this has just started but it seems to be an issue with Parallels shutting down Windows 7.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Cheers
    Ian
