Today I installed Parallels Desktop Lite on a brand new 2019 Macbook Pro running MacOS Mojave 10.14.6. The machine started fine but there is no sound and looking at Sound settings shows the output tab reporting "Sound says No Output Devices Found" (see screenshot below). Is this expected behavior?

Could map the Windows apps' menu bar to macOS menu bar ?

Hi All, I am new to this and I have one issue with Parallels, I hope you have an idea. For work I run a program that acts as an interface to call cmd-line programs. These are supposed to run in the background and exit after the calculation is completed. On a normal PC this works absolutely...

Hello, When I use Windows 10 under Parallels on my Mac, will all Windows apps (including Windows 10 itself) run sandboxed? I mean, will Paralles stop any attempts of Windows apps (or Windows 10 itself) to read or write outside the virtualization, in the macOS environment? Thank you.
