Hallo community,
I know that it is possible to isolate Windows from Mac. Is it also possible to isolate Mac from Mac?

I have a MacBook Pro 14'' with Ventura 13.3.1. On this machine there is parallels 18 installed with 3 VMs (Windows 11, Kali Linux and Mac OS 13). For Windows 11 and Kale Linux there is an options menu where I can set the option "insolate", on Mac there is no option button :(

Greetings,
Thank you for your feedback.
To Isolate your macOS virtual machine from your host macOS you need to disable sharing the host's home folder.
Simply perform the steps below:
  1. Shut down your macOS virtual machine.
  2. Locate the virtual machine .macvm file: click on Parallels icon on top of the mac menu bar > Control Center > right-click on the virtual machine > Show in Finder.
  3. Right-click on the .macvm bundle > Show package contents.
  4. Locate the config.pvs file and open it in TextEdit: right-click config.pvs > Open With > Other, check the Enable All Applications option, select Text Edit, and click Open.
  5. Locate <ShareUserHomeDir>X</ShareUserHomeDir> parameter and change it from 1 (enabled) to 0 (disabled).
  6. Press Command+S to save the configuration.
  7. Start the macOS virtual machine again.
After performing the above steps, your macOS virtual machine will be isolated from your host macOS.
