    Been 'chatting' with Parallels support. The first release of 18 had this problem. Installed 18.1 and support was able to restore my win7. Don't think I could have done it without them.

    I cannot 'restart' windows 10 by the usual means since the window is frozen. When I 'quit' the pvm, and restart it, it just 'resumes' and displays the locked window. How do I force the restart?
