    I am using Parallels Desktop for Mac, Business edition, version 16.1.2. Host OS is Big Sur (11.1 20C69). I cannot start Big Sur VMs (same macOS version) with "prlctl start" command unless user is logged into host. For example, using that command when logged in via SSH reports VM started, but it stays stopped. That command won't work for Big Sur VM unless I log into macOS. It does work for Catalina and Mojave VMs, though.
     
  2. Hello,
    could you collect the tech report once the issue reproduced and post the report's ID here please?
     
  3. Hi, if the issue still there could you check the same behavior with the latest Parallels Desktop build 16.1.3 and share any results with us please?
