    I use Parallels to do Windows development, some of that involves working with Docker. This requires than I enable the Nested Virtualisation functionality, and I use the new WSL functionality to run Docker (so I'm NOT using Hyper-V). What seems to have happened since I've enabled this (also when I was using Hyper-V) is that I will see:

    1) Very high CPU usage when swapping to my Mac form the VM, sometimes leading to a total system freeze (even the trackpad stops working, fan spins up, machine stuck until it restarts).
    2) Sudden freezes, where the above happens just randomly.
    3) If I leave the VM running overnight, in most cases my machine is off when I open it in the morning.

    This has been ongoing for about 6 months, and I thought swapping from Hyper-V might resolve it, but it hasn't.
     
  2. Hello, did you perform some troubleshooting steps? Could you collect the tech report right after the issue reproduced and post the report's ID here?
