I perhaps first posted this (
https://forum.parallels.com/threads...r-with-parallels-20-on-macbook-pro-m4.366259/) in the wrong forum.
But I've installed Parallels 20.1.3 (55743) on my Macbook Pro v4 running Sequoia 15.2. I have it running Windows 11 Home (10.0.26100 Build 26100). However, when I connect an iPhone 13 Pro (running iOS 18.2) to the USB-C port and add it as an external device to Windows 11, the iPhone is recognized with a "Trust this Device" challenge. But then the Apple Mobile Device USB Composite Device always gives me a "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" error and my iPhone isn't recognized in the Windows file system, through iTunes, through Apple Devices, through Apple Music, etc.
I've reinstalled Parallels, Parallels Tools, Windows 11 Home, iTunes (both the Microsoft Store version and the downloadable 64-bit desktop version 12.13.4.4), Windows USB drivers, tried every different USB-C port, tried different USB-C cables to no avail.
My hunch is that there is some driver incompatibility between the Windows 11 Home Apple/iPhone USB drivers and Parallels on a MacBook Pro M4 ARM architecture. The impact being that I am unable to connect my iPhone at all to Parallels-hosted Windows, which is a major limitation for me.
Anyone else face similar challanges or have suggestions?
