    Hello everyone,
    I have come across 2 main questions I was hoping the community/parallels team could assist with. The first is a bit simpler, there may be no solution.

    When connecting a new usb device to a parallels machine 2 popups appear. The first popup asks if you want to connect your device to the VM, this is straightforward and i have no questions here. The second popup asks if you want to Allow, Deny, or Allow Always parallels permissions to access this usb for VM usage on the device. I hit allow always for a device but upon second thought it's made me nervous thinking malicious usbs with similar hardware id's may make it through now. As a result, I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a way to control this "allow always" list and remove devices if I ever change my mind.

    Second, I have a strange issue with the bluetooth on Windows 11. While everything does in fact work....the device names for BLE devices are getting truncated down to about 19 characters (excluding spaces). This is a bit of a rough issue because while bluetooth works I cannot connect to my BLE devices simply because their names are truncated. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any fixes?

    Thanks!

    Sorry for the bluetooth issue to clarify, its truncated down to 9 characters* not 19.
