MacOS starts Windows apps by default instead of Mac app

    When I ask Siri to do something like "calculator", I expect the MacOS calculator to start up, but instead Siri starts up the Windows VM and waits for me to log in so as to start the Windows calculator. It does this even after having used the Mac calculator last. I don't want to go through the entire laborious Windows VM startup and login to use the calculator. Likewise, when I press command-spacebar in MacOS and type something like Ste and then hit enter without looking at the search list to start Steam, Parallels fires up the Windows VM and waits for a login instead of starting the Mac version of Steam. How did the Windows version of Steam get to the top of the search list if I haven't used it? How do I insure that the default is to run the Mac version of an app if it exists?
