Hello, did you check the issue with the newest update Parallels Desktop 16.1?

 

yes i have 16.1 i have send you bug report 354752542

i have also a workaround..... uninstall parallels tools to windows machine

 

Same for me! After I tried to sign in with my MS account, the system was suspended automatically.
Pls treat this as urgent, as I couldn't use Windows 10 anymore....

 

Attached the screen sharing.

 

I'm experiencing the same issue on my Mid 2014 MacBook Pro. Poor graphics performance when the machine is running in any state and using the windows start menu search will cause the virtual machine to crash.

 

Could you update your Parallels Desktop version to the 16.1.1 and check the issue.

 

I'm not the original poster but today's update of 16.1.1 appears to fix the issue of poor performance and the start menu search crashing with Big Sur as the Host OS.

 

Thanks a lot for sharing this with us!
And please let us know what we can do for you in the future.

 

Not the original poster, but I have also experienced the exact same issue and stacktrace in the vm.log as shown above.

But I am running v16.1.1 (build 49141). Fresh report just sent, ID: 355019900.

I'm guessing it's something specific to macs with the AppleIntelHD5000GraphicsMTLDriver, mine is also a 15" mid 2014 macbook pro. So maybe macs with a gen 7 (Haswell) CPUs?

I've noticed specific applications running in the guest OS trigger this issue, like the report of the opening the start menu mentioned above. I have had a WPF application trigger it, which uses hardware rending offloading to the GPU. I believe that uses DirectX underneath, so curious if others have had issues running guest applications of that nature. VM is stable if I avoid applications using those technologies...

 

I am also using Parallels 16.1.1 (49141) on Mac OS Big Sur 11.0.1 (20B29). I am also facing the same issue since last 2 days. Unfortunately, the software I need to use most, is written in WPF. Within seconds it crashes the Parallels. A complete show stopper for me.

I also get the error:
Caught Segmentation fault(11) in video device thread:
...
AppleIntelHD5000GraphicsMTLDriver ...

 

I actually went back to 10.15.7, as this was also a show stopper for me as a developer for a WPF app. However, interestingly, 16.1.1 (build 49141) running on Catalina doesn't produce that segementation fault. So worth the effort to downgrade as an itermediate fix until Parallels releases an update.

 

Going back to old operating system is an option but it is a big pain. Being a developer, it takes a lot of time to setup the computer. And I have just one laptop.
But yes, if I don't get a solution soon, that's the only option I am left with.

 

Just for the benefit of anyone else who comes here facing the same issue, here is a workaround to reduce the crashes in case of WPF app. You can disable the hardware acceleration for all WPF apps. This will use the software render which would be slow and sluggish but at least it won't crash.

Refer this article for how to do that: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/do...ktop-4.8#disable-hardware-acceleration-option

 

I've just seen this on the update summary for v16.1.2 (49151).

"Resolves an issue with Windows suspending on Macs with Intel integrated GPUs 5xxx/5xx."

Anyone able to confirm it's no longer an issue for them, now? I'd like to avoid having to update to macOS 11 just to have to go back to 10.15 again...

 

Yes, I can confirm that updating to latest Parallels version fixes this issue. Feel free to upgrade to Big Sur...
