    Hello,
    strange things happened after upgrading the VMs from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Now when you lock your computer screen the VMs automatically suspend. You can't prevent it, no matter what. This is what I have tried so far:
    • Options -> Optimization -> keep always in background
    • Options -> Optimization -> Pause Windows when possible := DISABLED
    • Options -> Security -> Isolate Windows from Mac
    • Reinstalled Parallels Tools
    What so ever, the machines automatically suspend as soon as the screen is locked or gets locked (e.g. by sceen saver or by exiting a remote session)
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Arthur,
    I would try the Custom configuration under Startup and Shutdown Not the Always ready in background one.
    If you go to Parallels help window and open Startup and Shutdown they explain all the options that you can do in that area.

    Oh, well, that solved the problem. Thanks a lot!
    But it is strange. Other mac with Parallels 13 and it works fine. But OK, going to custom solved the issue.
