How can I fully isolate Parallels Desktop from macOS?

V

Vexonix

I want to prevent any file sharing or synchronization between my Mac and the Windows virtual machine -- meaning no shared folders, no access to Mac files from Windows, and vice versa.
Is it possible to completely sandbox Windows within Parallels, so that it behaves like an entirely separate system with no links to the host Mac?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out.
To isolate a virtual machine, perform the following steps:
1. Open the virtual machine's configuration.
2. Open the Security tab.
3. Click Isolate Mac from Windows option
4. Once the prompt asking you to confirm the isolation appears, click Isolate.
