I downloaded Riot Valorant by installing Windows with this app. But I was instructed to turn off and on my computer before running because I was done downloading it. I tried all the ways. I tried turning off and off my MacBook and turning off the Windows program, but Valorant didn't run. Is...

When trying to do the latest Windows update since Yesterday (may 29, 2024) it will go through the motions of updating but when it restarts the VM to install said Update it causes the VM to crash and have to do a Repair on the Windows OS. Have cleared out caches, did Disk clean, etc to try...

Unable to see anything in Edge or Chrome. Brand new installation of Parallels "Windows 11" on a M1 Macbook Pro. Managed to install Chrome after having no luck with Edge but Chrome is the same thing, a black window.

I have had this issue for a while now and have not found a solution but have gone through a lot of testing. Basically I have a red dragon gaming mouse with 1-12 keys on the side of it. The 1-12 keys work fine, the mouse works fine, however when I try to use shift+1-12 keys on the mouse it only...

I am in the Insider/beta program, and all has gone well until this week - when 22635.3646 won't install on either computer running 2263.3640 from last week. Both are running Parallels 19.3.1, and now 19.4 It has failed several times. The last time - I Powered down, started up Windows. It was on...

Since updating Parallels this morning, I have been experiencing Windows Update issues with this preview. I have run the troubleshooter and SFC. Windows reports errors and that they have been successfully repaired. Is anyone else experiencing issues with this update or has a suggestion on how to...

Just wondering if somebody has an audio interface working with W11 VM thru Parallels. I have a Behringer UMC202HD which it doesnt' work, as it asks for drivers (Behringer doesn't have ARM driver's, and the x64 driver cannot be installed) I was planning to buy a 4th gen Focusrite Scarlett 4i4, I...

this blows, it is a pain in the ass. I don't have the setting turned on to open when I wake up my computer but it opens up widows on both screens in full. It also opens any programs that I had minimized. Any idea what would cause this

Hi, I use Parallels Desktop Version 19.3.1 (54941) on a Mac Mini (M2 Pro chip), with a Windows11 VM (23H2 with last updates) Two 4K displays are connected: display 1 on the left, configured as an extended display, and display 2 on the right, configured as the main macOS display. On the dock...

On Parallels Desktop for Mac, I initially installed Windows 11 but then realized I needed Windows 10. I deleted Win11, and tried installing Win10. Something when wrong and even if I delete Win10 and start over, I get in an error loop. Any help is appreciated.

I cannot link my Win11 for ARM VM to a Microsoft domain. I always get the information that the network resources are not available anymore. I read an information to activate SMB1.0 without any success. Has anybody an idea how to integrate the VM? Thanks in advance. German

Hey. Maybe the community will have some idea :). The way it has worked so far is that I would fire up a VPN in the Mac interface and then, for reasons beyond my control, connect via RDP to an external computer via VPN. RDP worked in both the Mac and Windows interfaces. I recently did a...

I've recently renewed my code signing certificate. Unlike last time, they sent a USB token for code signing that can be used with the SafeNet authentication client software. I don't own a windows computer. Instead I have parallels on both of my Macs (one is Apple Silicon and the other x86)...

Hi, when installing a VPN client (e.g. OpenVPN), I get an error that the TAP adapter can't be initialized. Connecting obviously fails, as there's no TAP adapter. Do you have any idea how to connect to a VPN from Parallels? Many thanks!

I recently installed Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security in my Widows 11 VM. Does anyone know how to run a scan?

I installed Parallels a few days ago and for the most part it's worked fantastically. However, if I switch to Windows from the MacOS and while my VPN is active, Windows acts like it doesn't have any internet access. Disabling the VPN fixes the issue. I can't find a way to make it work. I live...

I understand that EPLAN Electric P8 is a native Windows application, however, I was hoping to leverage virtualization software to run the program on my Mac. Could I run EPLAN Electric P8 on MacOS using Parallels Desktop ? Please advise if this is a supported configuration and, if so, are there...

Hi, I'm trying to connect a new bluetooth mouse in Windows VM (not Mac side) but I'm seeing my Windows doesn't detect any devices (other devices as well)... just waiting on "Add a device" screen. I have re-installed Parallels Tools and 'Share Bluetooth devices with Windows' is checked. The mouse...

Hi folks. So let me be honest and say this is new territory for me, and simple words. Simpler the better. I've been given feedback from a friend who is more expertised on Windows but knows little about Parallels. I have a game I would like to run but he says and I quote: "The issue really is...

Howdy, I am running Catalina on 2018 Core i7 Macbook Pro. I want to upgrade to Monterey (or beyond) but i am running windows XP on Parallels 15. It is critical that I can keep running XP and an old PDF form software. Will I need to update Parallels? Should i expect my VPCs to transfer...
