    Hello,

    Has anyone been successful in getting Ventura to "just work" as a guest OS in Parallels Pro Version 18.0.3 (53079) for mac?

    I looked around to find any KB articles and the only ones I can find are for M1 (not Intel).

    Thanks.

    Yes, I've got a Ventura VM running on an Intel iMac - parallels pro 18.0.3 and macOS 12.6.1 on the host.

    I installed the VM as macOS 12.6 from the recovery partition (needed a couple of reboots to get it working) then upgraded that VM to macOS 13.0 Ventura. Works great.

    Tried that too... all I get is a Grey Screen of death and a reboot.

    That's frustrating!

    Must admit I had similar with trying to install (or upgrade to) any version of macOS since Catalina. It was only after upgrading Parallels Pro to v18 did I manage to get a new VM with Monterey (macOS 12) installed; it's that one which I upgraded to Ventura.

    Happy to compare config settings if you think it'd help.

    I'm assuming the most likely causes of the VM failing to boot is to do with graphics, networking or other devices; no real evidence for this just a gut feel after 30 years working with IT hardware & infrastructure.

    So, a few of the config settings I have on my Venturer VM:
    Options
    Sharing : Share custom folders, share cloud folders Map Mac volumes to VM - all ticked
    Full Screen - no
    Picture in Picture: enabled but never us it
    More Options:
    • Time : sync from Mac
    • Share clipboard enabled
    • Update Parallels tools auto - enabled
    Hardware
    CPU & Memory : 2 Processors; 6GB RAM
    Graphics: Memory - 64MB; Resolution: Best for Retina display (host is a 5k 27" iMac)
    Network: Shared Network. Advanced: Virtue network adapter (I haven't set this, so presumably the default)
    USB & Bluetooth:
    • Share BT devices and Share smart card devices - both disabled
    • USB Connection Preferences - all devices are Mac only; and Ask for those added whilst VM running
    • Advances: USB 3.1 - Enabled
    All the rest default other than SmartGuard enabled in Backup

    Any config settings that I changed I did before upgrading to Venturer.

    Hope all that helps...

    I've tried several upgrade paths from existing VMs -- from Mojave to Monterey, all of which boot and behave fine otherwise -- but no fully working Ventura yet. Host Macs are Intel Macs running either Parallels 13 (on the older Macs), 17 (on the newer Macs) or the evaluation/trial of 18. Closest I've come so far is a Ventura environment where the mouse actually works and I can launch applications, but no internet. (Tried standard shared internet, bridged on various settings). It most often halts all progress during upgrade-reboot with the progress bar to the far right, just sits there with the virtual CPUs all maxxed out and no discernable disk or net activity; and on stop-and-restart most often boots to an apparent Ventura that doesn't respond to mouse clicks.

    I have no reason to upgrade to 18 if it doesn't offer me anything I'm not already doing under 17. (Or 13 for that matter!)

    A Parallels tech got my Ventura VM's internet working. Walked me through opening the configuration, deleting "Networking" from the list of individual configurations, then adding it back. Something must have gotten corrupted and that fixed it.
