Loss of virtual machine pvm file

[ChuckJ2]

This happened to me again today. I was having some issue with the VM and shut it down to restart the MAC and when I restarted parallels it could not find the pvm file. The first time this happened I was able to recover from the time machine, but so far this time I am having no luck.

I would like to understand why this is happening. And I would like to figure out a way to recover my VM.

My point is that the file is nowhere to be found on the computer. How does that happen?

Hello @ChuckJ2 Did you have the PVM file on the Mac hard Disk or iCloud? Since, which version you are facing this issue? Does this happen in every restart of the Mac? Thanks, Shathish
