Everyone feel free to add to this list as you find bugs in the new parallels desktop 12. I Thought it may be a good idea to get them all listed in one place. Please specify your host system and OS, And Guest OS. So far i have experienced the following
Host OS - MacOS sierra GM release
Guest OS's - Windows 7 Professional (X86 and X64) and Windows 10 Pro (X64)
Parallels Desktop 12.02 (41353) Newest build
1. Full screen on multiple monitors is broken. I have found a workaround that is working fine for now but its still broken at the core.
2. If i have more than one VM open i have to click like a madman to keep it in focus when i swipe to it.
3. I can no longer open mac apps directly over my VM due to full screen emulation missing in the new release.
4. Windows 7 pro windows updates are broken. I never had this trouble with parallels 11. I create a lot of VM's for software testing and i have to install windows updates to make sure my program runs as expected across all versions and revisions. I now have to manually download and install the service pack rollups because windows auto update just sits on checking for updates for days without ever finding any update.
5. I have had two crashes where parallels desktop has quit working message has appeared since the updates started. Never had one with parallels desktop 11
6. Mac shared applications shortcuts in windows all have a black box for their icon and some wont start. I think this is resolved now by un ticking the option "Share Mac Applications with Windows" in the Vm configuration and then checking the option again and restarting. This recreated all the file associations and seems to have solved the issue
