I'm once again thinking of moving my Parallels license from my old x86 MacBook Pro to my current Apple Silicon based one. The two things that have prevented it in the past is my need to test whether our application installs/runs in x86-based OSs (Ubuntu, Fedora, Windows 10/11 to be specific)...
I'm using one WIN 11 instance on my M4 Pro and I noticed working on it in fullscreen and almost exclusively on a given day, that it's heavily draining the battery, basically cuts the charge in half. Is this a know issue or to be expected? Would love to get your comments.
Is there a way to bypass this? I'm running on a 2023 M1 Macbook. I'm trying to run Blessed Unleashed. I get Launch Error: Unsupported host machine architecture. (ARM64).

"Good evening, I have a question. I own a MacBook Pro M3 Pro, and I noticed that when downloading Warframe, Fast Food Simulator, and Grocery Store Simulator, the graphics flicker. How can I fix this?"
When selecting a list of manually creating a VM from an ISO, could you add FreeBSD as an option in that list rather than having to select "Other Linux"?
One item in the config that needs to be adjusted behind the scenes in the default config upon creation is to use the Parallels Video file...
I ran across an issue with FreeBSD 14+ (I know it is not officially supported, but happens to work with an adjustment as mentioned below) where if you disable the VirtIO GPU support the VM works in Parallels. After digging through docs you need to edit the config.pvs manually and adjust VirtIO...
Can you review and possibly work to allow macOS as a guest OS in the App Store Edition of Parallels Desktop on a Mac?
Per this article: https://kb.parallels.com/123796
Currently it mentions:
"Download and run macOS in a virtual machine on a Mac with Apple silicon" is only available on...
Dear friends,
I have the following problem with Paralles 20 and Windows 11, on which I launch a simple industry application for managing a company, which was strictly created for Windows users. My computer is a Mac with an M processor. Namely, the application launched after installing SQL, BUT...
The release notes for Parallels Desktop 20 for Mac 20.2.0 (55872) have an attached kb for an experimental feature to run Intel VMS under Roesetta2.
But when I right-click on an imported Intel Windows 10 machine "Start using Emulator" does not show. I only get the standard menu with Start disabled.
This is Parallels Desktop running on an Apple M1 MacBook Pro and an Arch Linux VM.
This VM used to work.
Now, if I attempt to re-install Parallels tools with the latest Arch update I get
```
% cd ~/Parallels\ Tools
% ./install-gui
modprobe: FATAL: Module prl_tg not found in directory...
After installing update 20.1.2, I cannot start two VMs on Mac M2. I get the spinning stick for a few seconds then it goes back to the arrow. I cannot revert to a snapshot (An error occurred while restoring the virtual machine state). I went back to a Time Machine backup and that doesn't change...
I have installed the Windows 11 system on Parallels Desktop 19 on my M1 MacBook Pro. When using Origin 2024, I often encounter issues where Origin becomes unresponsive when saving files or templates, which causes the Windows system to freeze. I haven't found a solution and would appreciate any...
I have left my Windows 11 instance to handle its own CPU allocations. My question is whether those CPUs are Efficiency cores, Performance cores, or a mix of the two? Obviously if they're only Performance cores, then it will take a hit on your battery life and if they're only Efficiency cores...
This is a shock to me. On a whim I downloaded Alone in the Dark (2024) which requires DirectX 12. The game is slower loading than on my Steam Deck (likely in part because the Steam Deck downloads a lot of the precompiled shaders when you install games) but the game does work! I haven't tried...
Hi all
Just got my new MBP M4 and used migration assistant to move everything. According to the Parallels KB, if you do this and you use iCloud Keychain it should all just work. Unfortunately when I try to start the VM I just get a message 'Unable to start the virtual machine.' There's a 'help'...
