    When I look at the dropdown menu of Parallels Desktop I see a menu item "Parallels Toolbox für Mac installieren..."

    Does that mean that it isn't installed? I remember I installed it (several times).
     
  2. Hi ChristophK2. Parallels Toolbox is different from Parallels Tools. Please let us know whether you have installed Parallels Tools inside the VM or the Parallels Toolbox on the host Mac.

    I'm referring to "Parallels Toolbox for Mac", which I have in stalled - there is this little toolbox icon in the upper menubar in the right section.

    My question: why there is the menu item still as an option. It should either be greyed out or be named "reinstall" of have a check sign or somethimng that isn't misleading.
     
  4. Hello, could you please share a screenshots of the menu items option?

    When the "Parallels Toolbox for Mac" is installed, like indicated in the upper right menubar:

    then the menu item should reflect this. Either that it is checked, or is named "reinstall".

    BTW, at the moment I don't know, how it comes, the menu item "Parallels Toolbox for Mac" is greyed out, actually what I would expect.
     
  9. Just one questions: did you reinstall your Mac before founding this changes?
