    Any solution to this yet? I can't work! The error keeps popping up, and I can't use the solution here because in order to change the hypervisor I need to "resume the virtual machine". Which I can't do because of this error. So frustrating.

    I feel that, I had to find the path to the workaround myself as well.

    Didn't have the issue until today, so here's how I got to the workaround:
    1) Go to the main screen on Mac's desktop, right-click on the instance of parallels you want to regain access to.
    2) Go to Actions
    3) Click "Stop"
    4) Follow dialogue prompts until you've effectively forced the shutdown of your instance (sucks to lose progress on anything you're working on, but better than having no access at all)
    5) Right-click the main Parallels icon
    6) Click "Control Center"
    7) Click the gear icon next to the instance you want to regain access to.
    8) Click the dropdown box under "CPU and Memory" labeled "Hypervisor" and select "Apple"
    9) Click the lock at the bottom left to save changes
    10) $$$

    So are we still under investigation to this problem?

    Why is it everytime, repeat every time I either update my Mac OS or update Parallels I run into errors, and typically this error?

    Hello, the issue has been fixed in the newest Parallels desktop version.
    Did you get the same error with Parallels Desktop 17?
