    When trying to launch Parallels Desktop I'm now receiving the following message: "Unable to start Parallels services." If I go to the solution online it has me check the permissions on /private/tmp for the word "restricted." Mine doesn't say restricted and it then says to contact support without giving any other info. I've attempted another solution I found by adding PD to the Accessibility and Firewall exceptions. Same thing. I've tried rebooting into recovery mode and performing "First Aid" on the boot volume, same thing. I don't use Parallels on a daily basis so I'm not sure what change might have caused this.

    2017 Macbook Pro, Parallels Desktop 13 for Mac 13.2.0 (43213)

    Not sure it's the best solution, but uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling fixed it.
