    I've installed Ubuntu 24.04 to my Parallels Desktop App Store Edition, unfortunately I can't resize the hard disk size. I follow the instructions at https://kb.parallels.com/129758 : I go to VM configuration, Hard Disk 1, Advanced..., Properties.... The current size is incorrectly shown as 2 GB. I can drag the resize slider, but the Apply and Revert buttons are disabled.

    Feels like a bug in Parallels, but I can't find Parallels bug tracker.

    The disk capacity is 64GB as you can see from the screenshot. Version 1.10.0 (23894)

    Were you trying to resize the disk while the VM was running?

    Thanks for your reply! I ensured that the virtual machine was completely shut down before attempting to resize the hard disk. I understand that the disk can not be resized when the VM is up.

    I was told by the Parallels support to uninstall the AppStore edition and download and install the DMG from parallels.com - then I'll be able to resize the disks. This is simply unacceptable: I want to run Parallels in the sandbox as an AppStore app. This is getting ridiculous: UTM costs 10 eur, can be downloaded from AppStore and can resize the disks. Why can't Parallels AppStore?
