I've been in the El Capitan beta test group since it came out. I am or was running Parallels 10 (latest version) when I initially installed the beta a couple of months back. Parallels ran fine from the first get-go and on through all the beta updates. I should note that I installed the current Windows 10 program that ran well also (again with Parallels 10).
Last night i received what looked like the final edition of El Capitan which I installed. After the installation all seemed well. Clicking on About shows only 10.11 without any beta codes. A few minutes ago I wanted to go into Windows 10 via Parallels. I got to the first screen where the "dot circle" stopped moving and then apparently hung up. After waiting a few minutes, I shut the computer down and rebooted. Now my Parallels icon was missing from the desktop so I went into Applications and clicked on the Parallels program which then started it up, only to hang up as described above.
Unfortunately I did NOT make a Time Machine backup before installing the latest (final?) software for El Capitan. Maybe this time I will do so. Wonder how I'm going to get back into Parallels operation? Should I delete the Parallels application in Applications and then run the Parallels installation disk again? I assume my Windows 10 installation is still there even though I can't access it at this time. Any other ideas?
