Restart a suspended macOS VM should resynch the time

    If you suspend a macOS VM and then later un-suspend the VM.. the time remains at the time when the VM was suspended. Can Parallels Tools force a re-synch when the VM is un-suspended?

    Thanks,

    How long are you giving it? I just unsuspended Sierra and Snow Leopard Server and both took around half a minute to sync with the time on the host.

    It's been over 5 minutes now and it hasn't updated the time in the VM. The VM is High Sierra and the Host is 10.11.6 -- and it doesn't seem like it'll ever synchronize the time.

    Latest version of Parallels.

    In Configure../Advanced, do you have Time: Sync from OS X ? (The other option is "Do not sync")

    Yes I do. All options are correct. To synch the time I actually have to fiddle with toggling the macOS Time prefs options to 'force' it to synchronize.

    My Mavericks VM does synch automatically, but the High Sierra VM doesn't.

    I imagine it's something askew between Parallels and High Sierra? Hopefully Parallels will fix it in the next point release.
