slow

I've installed Parallels about a month ago and it is just so slow, to the point where it's unusable. How can I fix this ASAP as I need it for my thesis. And I don't want a generic answer. Feel like this was a huge waste of money.

I think the title here is putting it nicely. It used to take med 30 - 40 seconds to start parallels, login to windows, open Visual Studio, open a project and start working. Now? Well, it takes me a full minute to even login to windows. After starting Visual Studio it takes 30 SECONDS before the...

I want to put this again because this is boring for me all the time about 1 year or more. it happens sometimes not always, happens every 2 weeks or a month once. yes, It freeze, the windows 10, you say to get the tech report and send it to you, but it freeze I can't do anything even to get the...

Hi! Just installed Catalina release on 2016 MacBook Pro running PD13 and Windows 10 VM. Everything was working well before the install, but now VM is noticeably slow - hovering mouse over messages in Outlook, the highlight follows the cursor with a 0.5 second delay. Tried reinstalling Parallels...

Hey guys, upgraded to Parallels 15 (had 14 Pro before) newest Windows 10 VM running, it was smooth so far. Now since the Upgrade its running very slow.... especially using Chrome is taking ages to load, Edge Browser much faster. General Performance is not that good... what can I do? ( System...

Hi, I've had Parallels Desktop 11 (not sure anymore) for at least a year or two now. This is estimated of course, but, anyways, Im using a MacBook Pro 13inch. This is the issue (Imgur) that I've been having ever since. It does this process to boot. Its been incredibly slow & just takes...

I've just upgraded to Parallels 14 as the 13 version would no longer be fully supported (new Xorg etc) and I wanted a version that fully takes advantage of the new MacOS Mojave. Now after installing it on a clean Mojave setup, when I run parallels with any of my guest OSes (Windows, Linux) the...

So is Parallels 14 totally unusable with a newer Fusion Drive or what gives? Ran an older 2013 iMac with Fusion Drive for 5 years without any issues. I quit updating Parallels at version 11 and on that particular iMac in comibation with El Capitan that has always worked flawlessly. Now...

I have an issue now where the VM I have been using for quite some time is now taking up to 5 minutes to start Windows 10 after upgrading to v14. I also upgraded to Mojave in the process but it has not seemed to have any effect on load speeds with v14 on my Macbook Pro. I have tried many...

Hello. I am new to parallels 13, I needed it to run the windows version of office for classes I'm taking. I installed it on my macbook pro and it seems to work fine. I installed on my brand new iMac (which has a lot more horsepower) and it lags significantly. The web browsers are practically...

Hi. I've had to disable SmartGuard because not only is deleting and creating snapshots painfully slow, but now it closes (force quits) all my open apps when the process ends. I come back and all I see is the desktop. Any ideas what could be going on? Thanks.

Hello, I cant seem to get my windows 10 to run properly. It's extremely frustrating trying to get work done when you have to wait 10 sec every time you click something for it to open, or not even run at all. I've read all the forums concerning this issue with no resolution in sight. I need help...

Again I did it! I bit the bullet and updated Parallels to it's newest version. Now my Windows 10 virtual machine is/feels ten times slower than before the update. Also the Os X feels sluggish. Even the Windows is just idling, Os X shows 100 - 200% load for cpu. I should be able to work tomorrow...

I upgraded to Parallels 13 and immediately had problem signing in to Windows 10. When I eventually signed in, everything is running so slowly that is unusable as an OS. I have updated to the latest Parallels 13 build this morning, and it has taken me 12 minutes to get a sign in page. I am...
