Shutting Down Windows 10 VM within VM restarts

Within my Windows 10 VM I click shutdown - expecting the VM to shutdown normally and return to Parallels Desktop on my Mac. Doing this simply restarts the VM.

How do I shut down the VM safely and park the image as if the VM had been turned off?

 

Hello HudosnM, Kindly follow the instructions from this link and check if it helps.

 

Yep, this did the trick. Thank you.

 

You are welcome, Please feel free to reach us any time for any queries regarding Parallels.

 

This issue has re-emerged. I followed the previously posted instructions and the option suggested regarding quick boot is no longer available in my configuration. My Parallels edition is now ver 13.3.2-43368 and Windows is 10.0.17134. The power menu now only shows "When I press the power button" [Shutdown] and When "I press the sleep button" [do nothing]. The Shutdown Settings check boxes are Sleep [ ] and Lock [x]

Any thoughts on how I can shutdown my VM from within the Windows Dialogue as you would shut down a normal PC?

Thanks,
HudsonM
