Hello! After migrating from a Mac to another Mac, Parallels now has an error when starting Windows. The error is: Unable to start the virtual machine. The virtual machine cannot be started. I've tried deleting the .mem and editing DiskDescriptor file as described in other threads - with no luck. My configuration: MacBook Air M4, 2025 Parallels Desktop 19 for Mac Standard Windows 11 Please help, thanks!
Thank you Avinash! The virtual machine was created from a M2 with Apple Silicon I installed V20 and was able to start Windows 11 normally. Appreciate the help!
Hello FerguW, Thank you for reaching out. Was the virtual machine created from an Intel Mac? In order to proceed with further investigation, please follow the steps below: 1. Download and install the V20 of Parallels Desktop, which is fully compatible with M4 chip https://download.parallels.com/desktop/v20/20.4.0-55980/ParallelsDesktop-20.4.0-55980.dmg 2. Try to reproduce the issue If the issue persists, please collect a technical report (right-click Parallels icon in Dock > Help > Send technical data > check "Attach screenshots..." > press Send Report) and send the report's 9-digit ID in a reply. Thank you!
