I am experiencing a random UI freeze when I'm using Windows on either normal or coherence mode.
When I suspend and restart the VM the UI functional again.
It seems that the click commands pass through while it's freezing.
Macbook pro 2015 512gb 16gb ram 15"
  • Disabled Sharing between Mac and Windows.
  • Reinstalled clean multiple times Windows, Parallels etc.
  • Got plenty of ram and CPU left.
I'm on trial for 15 days and it hasn't improved at all.
This is a for work and it's so annoying having to reset the machine every 10-30 mins.
 
Hello Paul,
It seems like a deja-vu because this answer was made on a previous post about the same problem.
I am experiencing 100% Disk usage Not 100% CPU usage.

Dear @DennisP2, if you noticed that your Windows virtual machine takes a lot of disk space, use this freeware tool to check its contents. In some cases, Parallels logs will increase unknowingly.
Note: You need free disk space at least equal to the amount of memory allocated to the Virtual Machine. Go to your virtual machine's Configuration > Hardware > CPU & Memory.
 
Dear @PaulChris@Parallels , let me help you understand the essence of my question since it is profound knowledge by now that your English is not that good.
This is my problem:
Definition - What does Disk Usage (DU) mean?
Disk usage (DU) refers to the portion or percentage of computer storage that is currently in use. It contrasts with disk space or capacity, which is the total amount of space that a given disk is capable of storing. Disk usage is often measured in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and/or terabytes (TB).

This is what you are referring to:
Disk capacity
Alternatively referred to as disk space, disk capacity is the total amount of bytes that a disk drive or disc is capable of holding.

As you clearly can see (I hope) the solution you are referring to is for a completely different problem to the one I'm facing. Not that I have low available disk space anyway.
