    Anyone else experiencing an issue where the wifi drops from within the Windows 10 Guest OS within 5-10 mins after starting up the VM. The internet connection is not longer available whilst the Mac side still has a wifi connection and allows browsing via safari is fine. Has started happening for about a week now.

    Hi @GeorgeZ1, you may try this setting in Windows 10 virtual machine:
    Control panel > Power Options > Change plan settings > Change advanced power settings > Wireless adaptor settings > Power saving mode = Maximum Performance

    Thanks @PaulChris@Parallels. Checked my settings and Wireless Adaptor settings is set to Max Perf. Rebooted and tested again and still getting no internet access.

    Reapplied Parallels for Desktop 12 and still encountering same issue. Is there logging I can look at that might give me a clue?

    OK PD12 has same issue. Back to PD13 and found this. Why is Npcap Loopback Adapter losing its IP Configuration?

    Check which network adapter is selected under VM Configuration > Hardware > Network > Advanced settings. Try changing the adapter and check if the issue persists.
