    Hi, first time user. Installed Parallels 12 and Windows 10 on my 2015 Macbook Pro retina 15 inch, 2.2 Ghz I7, 16GB of memory. Default parallels settings (productivity), except for bumping the memory up to 4gb, and optimized for faster mac. The computer is getting quite hot to the touch when windows is running and I am concerned about running for long work periods. Here is what I am seeing in the activity monitor and task manager. I am seeing cpu as high as 200 percent for windows 10. Windows 10 is up to date and currently just running windows defender while I am getting set up. Is this to be expected or is there an issue I can deal with before moving forward. Obviously a basic computer user so bear with me please. Thanks in advance! Update: Windows Modules Installer started running at 50% Cpu and once that stopped windows task manager shows 0%cpu and activity monitor shows windows 10 as 7.4% and things have cooled down.

    Hello JoshV1, please be informed that Parallels Desktop 12 Update 1 (12.1.0-41489) was released and the issue has been addressed. Please update Parallels Desktop to the latest build. Latest version always available here: www.parallels.com/directdownload/pd12 Please note that Parallels Tools also needs to be updated (Actions > Update Parallels Tools) and let us know how it works. Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply, I am up to date with both. Just installed Friday and did just check for updates now. I did follow http://kb.parallels.com/ca/123268 as well. seems to be much better since windows module installer stopped running.
