Hello,

Even when all VM's are shut down and parallels app is not runnung, prl_disp_server is generating disk access all the time, about 10 system calls per second!

Output from "sudo fs_usage":
15:47:40 select 0.999490 W prl_disp_ser

And this goes on all the time!
It is not taking much CPU, but for sure it will slow down my disk.

Why is this necessary and can it be prevented?

Thanks
