    I am running Windows 11 PRO in a vm with Parallels 19.3.0. How often or when should Parallels update the installation of Parallels Tools? Windows 11 PRO just went through an update (not the security/antivirus ones) and I didn't see an update for Parallels Tools. Is Tools only updated when there is a Parallels update to the main program? I have occasionally did a manual Parallels Tools update through Windows but not sure if that is necessary to do. Thanks.

    I think that parallels tools are only updated when parallels is updated, not when windows is updated.

    Yes but I seem to remember that Parallels Tools would at least update automatically when Parallels (not Windows) is updated. For quite a while I have to do it manually). Thanks.
