    IMG_2256.jpg Everything was working fine in Parallels 12, prior to upgrading to Parallels 13. Now after the upgrade, my display on my iMac will no longer sleep which has me very concerned as it was on the entire day yesterday! If I close Parallels Desktop, my display once again sleeps properly. I've attached a screenshot of the results of running "pmset -g" from a command line and it clearly show the same Parallels process listed several times.

    Thanks for reporting the issue. We're working on a fix.

    To work issue around, uncheck 'Allow apps to auto-switch to full screen' in VM config - Options - Applications.

    You must also restart Parallels Desktop after unchecking the option.

    Thank you StanislavZ! I am running an up-to-date installation of Yosemite 10.10.5 on a 2014 Macbook Pro, and the quick fix seems to work for me. I will let you know if I encounter any apparent side-effects.

    Did not work for me, and I just did the hot fix to Parallels 13 and when Parallels tools runs it fails and kills the windows 10 environment. I tried to install the original version of P13 and that appears to now default to the hot fix so I now can't use windows 10. Looks like people are going back to P12 to get windows running again, what crap.

    Did not work for me either. This is an annoying and unacceptable bug.
