    In the new launcher of Tahoe (the Spotlight application display), Windows applications inside Parallels also appear.
    For example, both Chrome on macOS and Chrome on Windows are shown.
    Is there a way to prevent Windows applications from being displayed?

    you can turn off sharing of apps in each VM config. I had to do that for several and actually would be better if Parallels would put the VM name next to the app so we can leave them there. When I see 6 of every app, I don't know what VM they will be on so had to turn it all off in the new tahoe apps folder.

    Having the exact same issue. I have gone into the Options for the virtual machine and turned off the "Share Windows Applications with Mac" option. they are still there. Is this a bug? is there a planned fix?

    By removing the 'Share Windows Application with Mac', I. was able to get rid off the Windows apps in the new Tahoe's Launchpad.
    As unfortunately in the new Launchpad we are not able to create Groups/folders we cannot do as in the previous Launchpad. at this date the only way to remove the Windows Apps in the list is to deactivate the 'Share Windows Application with Mac'
