    Not sure if it's just my machine (Mac Studio M4, 1Tb HD, 64Gb memory) or the Golden Gate Beta but when you attempt to run any VM (Linux or Win11) it immediately shuts down. If you right click the Parallels icon to shut it down, it asks if you want to stop it running in the background.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Parallels 26 and the problem persists. There are other error messages that I will copy and post as I find them.
    I haven't had enough time usage with Golden Gate to discover other clashes, but will report them here as well if they in some way pertain to using Parallels.

    As a follow up. Windows 11 will work... if you don't try to run it i full screen. Same is true of Linux (Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu tested so far). I run twin Mac Studios to test existing builds against software updates. When the MacOS Golden Gate Dev. beta was released, it was installed on the test machine. On Tahoe 26, Parallels continues to work as expected, on the test machne not running VM's in full screen does Parallels not shut down. I have now submktted about 200 problem reports with no respone. I also test the exact way with two identical machines runnng VMWare. There seemos to be no problem on either Tahoe or Golden Gate.
