snapshot

Hello, Snapshot is hung and will not revert or shut down unless I force quit the application. Windows went into a complete freeze so I decided to revert to a snapshot done earlier in the day. The earlier snapshot is also hung. This may be a hack by a DOD or NSA level hacker; find my Facebook...

Hello, I cannot revert to a snapshot that I created. My host computer is mac OS 14.5 using an M1 Max chip, and the virtual machine I am using is macOS 14.6 with virtual M1 Max chip. The image of the VM was newly created by download macOS via Parallels. I am running Parallels Version 20.1.0 (55732).

Whenever I try to take a snapshot of a macOS Ventura (13.7), the Control Center shows a spinning circle for hours. It never completes. I thought Parallels 20 was supposed to support snapshots on M1 hardware? I've got 646 GB of free disk space on the host. That should be enough to take a...

I am cleaning up some VMs that I have used for test. However, I cannot find out which snapshot has been used to create which linked clone as the text in the snapshot just says "Snapshot for linked clone". When I look at the list of snapshots I can see that there is a red line across the link...

Creating the first Windows 11 snapshot is taking forever, for how long should I still wait to finish the snapshot? I am using a MacBook Pro M2 MacOS Ventura v13.5.2 and the VM is with Win11 HD size 27.65GB

I just installed Parallels. I am trying to see how to create snapshots (sorry, if I'm confusing terminology with VMWare.) I'm running a macOS Ventura (ARM64) as a guest VM on the same type host OS. The manual says that the option to create snapshots is in the Actions menu. But in my case...

All - I have 2 VM's and never use snapshots. I had to make a few snapshots while having a problem with a Windows 7 update. I want to delete them. Can I delete from the Parallels software before starting up the W7 virtual machine? Or do I get W7 running then do it from the Toolbar?

Hi after upgrading from version 16 to 18 standard, I do not see how to take vm snapshot. I also do not see how to configure vm details and even after I installed the tools I do not see how to access host file system from the guest. Any idea why?

Hi, I've just installed the Parallels version for M1 Macs. I'd like to share my home directory from the host machine, in my virtual machine. Furthermore, I wish to save and restore snapshots in my VM. I've read some guidelines and this option is available in older version of parallels...

After upgrading to Parallels Desktop 17, if you restore to a snapshot with a running OS (either windows or macOS), you are unable to type in the VM. Mouse events work, but keyboard appears to be disconnected. We've seen this on VMs running Windows 10 and macOS Big Sur - with the parallels...

Hi, i think that could be a great feature the capability of delete all snapshots before a certain snapshot. It could be the "complementary" feature of deleting snapshot and all following snapshots. Thanks in advance

Hello, I have Parallels Desktop Version 14.1.3 (45485) for Mac (macOS Mojave 10.14.6) and run Windows 10 on it. Whenever I launch Parallels and Windows, it gets stuck with the screen attached (spinning wheel), saying that it is deleting the snapshot - but it does that for eternity and Windows...

Hello everyone. I am using Parallels Desktop 15.1 latest version on Catalina 10.15.6 Suddenly, my Windows 10 VM will not open, and when pressing play button to launch the VM, the VM says "creating snapshot" and will hang there forever. What's strange is that no safeguard was activated and no...

I have recently started experiencing complete Mac hangs and subsequent restarts (Kernel Panic) when SmartGuard has to delete a snapshot to create a new one. It also causes corruption of the W10 VM. Creating a snapshot without the need to delete an old snapshot is fine. Using...

I have a question about the way snapshots work in Parallels 15. If I have a snapshot of my current environment and an older snapshot, can I switch between them without loosing my current setup? Will any newer snapshots be lost if I switch back to something older? I need to test something in an...

Hello, We're trying to test something on a test VM and wanted to see if when we revert to a snapshot can we set it so the time (system clock on VM) reverts back to the time of the snapshot as well? Anyone have any suggestions Thanks

Hope you can help. I was in the control center, and it asked if I wanted to revert to snapshot, and I clicked yes, and it took me back to the only one it had which was 2013. There is now only data from that period on my computer and in Windows. This was not my intention. I have a back up in Time...

I have had zero issues through many versions of Parallels and since I wanted to update to Mojave, I purchased Parallels 14 update, installed it, the tools and then updated OS to Mojave. My windows 10 guest came up fine and was working until the first time it wanted to create a new snapshot. It...

Hi I have a lot of snapshots (about 140gb. 76 snapshots 2gb each. See some of them in attached image), but they don't show up in Snapshot Manager, so i can't delete them. I have read and followed several threads and run terminal: -----------------------------------------------------------------...

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.
