    Parallels: 14.0.0 (45124)
    Host: MacBookPro13,3 running macOS 10.14 (18A377a)
    Guest: Windows Version 10.0.17134 Build 17134
    Steps to reproduce:
    When nested virtualization is checked, Windows crashes at startup.
    Upon a reset or two, Windows automatic repair launches and fails.
    Only workaround is to disable nested virtualization.

    Is nested virtualization still supposed to be a supported Pro Edition feature?

    Hi @b.morin, yes! Nested virtualization feature is available only in Parallels Desktop Pro and Business editions. Can you please send us a Technical Data collected right after the crash with nested virtualization and detailed log message enabled (Help menu > Send Technical Data...)? This will help us significantly, please reply me back with the report ID number.

    In my case the culprit was Kaspersky. I uninstalled the AV and was able to successfully launch Win 10 Pro with nested virtualization enabled. Hope this helps someone.

    Gabriele you've saved me from a nightmare; I was having such trouble with this, and seeing you message, I uninstalled AVG antivirus, and it's all working perfectly now.
    Thank you!

    I had the same nightmare! The Parallels Support Team helped me out, that was a tricky one, glad it is now solved on your side as well! :)
