    Hello all,
    I'm currently using Parallels Desktop for Mac App Store Edition Version 1.26.3 (23929) on a 2024 iMac running Tahoe 26.5.2. I have two VMs created on this machine. When I reboot my Mac, it opens with this warning:

    Support Ending for Intel-based Apps
    This version of "Parallels Desktop" includes a component that will not work with a future release of macOS. Learn how to update to an Apple silicon version.

    When I search the internet on this situation, I'm not finding others in the same boat. However, the search engine's AI seems to think it is an issue with the App Store Edition that Parallels will iron out before the macOS update that ends Rosetta support.

    I'd like to believe the AI's response, but I'd feel more comfortable with some confirmation. Anyone else get this message? I depend on my VMs for a lot of my workflows - safe to assume an upcoming Parallels update will fix this before the warned future release?
