    I just migrated from M2 to M4 Pro Mac Mini and now my VM's will not start. I tried to install a new Windows 11 instance, and that will not start either. I've tried to reinstall and VM's will not start. Is there an issue with M4?

    Hello,

    Parallels Desktop 19 isn't supported to run on Mac computers with macOS 15 as a main system. Since new M4 Macs have macOS 15 preinstalled, you might experience some issues with running your virtual machines in Parallels Desktop 19.

    - If you have a subscription, we advise you to install Parallels Desktop 20 that is fully compatible with macOS 15;
    - If you have a perpetual license of Parallels Desktop 19, we advise you to purchase an upgrade to Parallels Desktop 20.

    As for Parallels Desktop App Store Edition 1.9.4 - we're releasing an update for this version shortly. Subscribe to https://kb.parallels.com/123851 to get an email notification once the new version is released.

    Thanks
