Keyboard error after installation Macos Big Sur

Discussion in 'Installation and Configuration of Parallels Desktop' started by Parallels User, Jun 24, 2020.

  1. Hi,
    Trying to login in my virtual Windows 10 by pincode, I discovered that keys '1' and '2' didn't work on my wireless keyboard.
    Therefore I attached the older non-wireless and there the problem was the same.
    Happily, my numeric pad worked well and I could login.
    Solution???
     
  2. Hello, please collect the tech report right after the issue reproduced and post the report's ID here.
    Looking forward to your reply.
     
  3. Sorry, forgot to mention that I am running Macos Big Sur since yesterday.

    I see this same issue too - 1,2, T & Y keys don't work in any Windows 10 VM I have (1709, 2004 and also current Insider build). The keys work fine in a macOS VM.

    Also, passing my bluetooth keyboard directly to the VM works. Laptop keyboard doesn't work at all.

    Nice work around from another thread here: -

    Simply to go into Parallels app > Preferences > under your "Virtual Machine" (ie Windows 10), > Shortcuts > Add new shortcuts where you map "1" to "1", and so on. It's made life back to normal!

    @Michael Pitt Thank you for sharing the information. Please click Parallels Desktop icon || > Preferences > Shortcuts, select a particular virtual machine > click '+' > map they key to itself (From: 1, To: 1) > click "OK" > Repeat for all affected keys.
