    Everytime I start a suspended VM, I get a prompt that tells me:

    After clicking OK, the VM starts up, switches into Coherence Mode, and all is well.

    However, shouldn't Parallels be smart enough to check whether or not the guest OS has booted and that Parallels Tools is running PRIOR to trying to start Coherence Mode?

    Cheers,
    Anthony

    Hello,

    please, try to reinstall Parallels Tools - will it solve the issue?

    Best regards,

    I reinstalled Parallels tools and the issue is still there. Any other suggestions?

    Hello,

    it seems that the software acts like somebody tries to switch to Coherence when the OS has not started yet. But obviously it is not like that. So, PD may tangle the modes - try to switch to a single window mode and then to coherence again. And after that reboot the VM. Will the issue still occur?
    You can also try to change the startup mode from coherence to, for example, single window, restart the vm and then change it back to coherence and check if the issue still exists.

    Best regards,
    Alicia.
