slow

Hello, For the past couple of days, I've been testing Parallels Desktop (trial version) to check if it is a good alternative to other hypervisors. However, I've stumbled upon a network issue that I can't find a fix for. I've checked other threads (e.g...

Hi, I normally share specific folder on my mac to Windows 11, i.e. Users/name/project-folder-x > share to windows > "D:" Question is: - what is the penalty of doing so vs. having the files local on the VM "C:" How much slower is file access via shared folder

I have a 2019 iMac with Intel Core i5 that was running a Windows 11 VM with single application. The performance was fine and I was satisfied with this setup for years. I recently updated to the latest OS that my Mac supports, Sequoia 15.5. My VM got incredibly slow and suddenly there are...

Literally since yesterday, Windows 11 has started running impossibly slow. Unusable. Software is either hanging or crashing. Is there a known issue with the latest Parallels? Have any other users had this happen? Windows has 16GB RAM and 8 CPUs, so I don't see why performance should be a problem.

Same machine - 16 inch M2. VMware Fusion runs OpenSuse Tumbleweed updates fast. Parallels not so much. Seems network access is slow. Anyone else seen this? Same network locally, same WiFi.

Hello, Just by starting Windows 11 in Parallels Desktop 19.2.1 (I'm not running anything there besides Windows itself), makes my macbook fan runs like crazy. If I shutdown Windows and close Parallels they soon get back to silent. Before Parallels 19 I never noticed such high speed fan. If I let...

After following mister Mark Fine's great guide to successfully apply this patch in order to be able to install Parallels Tools for Kali Linux with Parallels 16, my Kali has become very slow/laggy. Moving mouse and typing take like 30 seconds to reflect. However, which is strange, typing a...
