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.

Apple's MacBook battery optimization is a great feature for conserving battery life and extending it by many more months. The issue at this point is that it's just an algorithm and not manually adjustable. If the laptop is plugged in for about a week or more, then the battery optimization kicks...

I upgraded my parallels desktop 16 yesterday to 16.5.1 and the average CPU usage is at 120%, previously it used to stay in between 40-80%. My battery life in one day has gone down by 50 percent. Has anyone else also experienced this ? Please suggest how to revert.

My parallels access window has been frozen for 2 days with the message "battery low" (see screenshot, in German). Yet the computer has charged since then but the message remains. I restarted the computer, deleted Parallels from my laptop and reinstalled it again (with the latest 15 version) but...

Hi, I recently upgraded to Parallels 14.1.0 and I have noticed a significant battery drain ever since. Has anyone experienced something similar and any suggestion on how I can resolve the issue? My configuration is as follows: MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) macOS Mojave 10.14.2 (18C54) evo850...
