    Upgraded to Parallels 11. Upgraded from Windows 8 to 10. The app icons still display 8.1 instead of 10 everywhere. Can I change this?

    I've seen this as well. The Dock icon still uses the Win7/8 VM icon rather than Win10. Same VM on Parallels 10 shows the Win10 icon. I'm assuming they'll fix this.

    Hi ,
    This has to done manually. Make sure to shutdown the virtual machine before making any changes.
    Click Actions > General and change the VM name.
    See this article for more info.

    That fixes the name, but not the image, I still get the Windows 7 start icon instead of the Windows 10 one, how can I change that?
     
  5. Hi, could you provide us with the screenshot of the issue please?

    Try this, worked for me:
    Stop the Virtual Machine
    Rename the Virtual Machine (not sure if this is necessary)
    Right-Click on the dock icon and choose Option, Remove from Dock
    Start the Virtual Machine
