Hi, I have Parallels 12 and Windows 8.1 and I try to figure out, what I should check/uncheck to prevent the Windows from pausing. The Pause Windows when possible is unchecked and the OS X Resume is checked for Disable for Parallels Desktop. I tried to either keep the VM's energy setting to never turn off the computer, or to turn off the computer after 5 hours. Nothing worked. Also the Mac's advanced privacy setting to log out after a period of time is unchecked. Nothing works, Windows keeps pausing. Thank you very much for any help.
