After update of Parallels, I cannot create new VMs
- Thread starter ArnoW1
- Start date
Hello ArnoW1, This issue is under investigation by Parallels Development team. meanwhile kindly try this steps.
1) Open Terminal (Spotlight Search > Terminal) and make certain the Parallels Desktop app is closed (Parallels Desktop logo in Mac menu bar > Quit Parallels Desktop) 2) Run the next command, which would allow to run Parallels Desktop application to get an opportunity create a new virtual machine:
QT_QUICK_BACKEND=software open /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app
3) This action is required to run just one time, Once Parallels Desktop is launched please attempt to create a virtual machine.
Thank you, this helps. Turning on the Qt software renderer has a big performance impact, but after creating the VM the normal start works.

Hi,
I am trying to create a new vm under parallels and do not see the option. Every time I start parallel it always brings up my boot camp vm only. How do I create a new windows vm to run from mac. Thanks.
