    I have installed build 11.2.0 (32581) of Parallels desktop and I get "Performance may be affected while....." message every time I start and run the Windows 10 VM. I check the Windows update applet and it is not updating and all updates are installed.
    Any ideas for a fix?

    Hi RobertS15, Windows updates may slow down your Windows virtual machine performance.
    Go to Actions > Configure > Options > Optimization > disable Free Space: Real-time Virtual Disk Optimization.
    If the "Real-time Virtual Disk Optimization" option is enabled, it may slow disk performance up to 30% (at the moment of compaction, not constantly). If the host has an SSD disk, the feature will be enabled by default for all virtual machines but will work only if it is compatible with the guest OS.
    Open virtual machine configuration > switch to Options tab > Optimization tab > Set performance to Faster virtual machine; check Enable adaptive hypervisor and Tune Windows for speed. If you're not running on battery power, you can also turn on the Better performance option.
