Outlook Notifications not working when using Parallel Client on Windows 11

invalid@example.com (DumitruU) — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 13:14:36 +0000

I was wondering if anyone else encountered this problem.
Scenario 1:
I am on a windows 10 machine, that has latest Parallel Client installed, I remote into a server, and I have my emails open in the background minimised, and if I receive a new email, I get a popup notification in the Notification Centre, which is great.
Scenario 2:
I am on a Windows 11 machine, with the latest Parallel client installed, I remote into the server, with emails open in the background minimised, but whenever I...

RAS Client opens behind Application (browser) windows

invalid@example.com (AndrewC57) — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 18:49:02 +0000

Good afternoon,
We have an issue where we are using AppsAnywhere and when a user clicks on a link to open an application, the Parallels RAS client is opened behind all windows without any notification in the taskbar. Is there any way to change this behavior? We are using 19.4.2 for the client version.

Thank you!

Massive problems with Sonoma

invalid@example.com (PeterA23) — Thu, 04 Jul 2024 12:57:21 +0000

I am running Windows 10 on Parallels Desktop 19.4.0 (54962) on a MacBook Pro 16-inch from 2019.
Since having upgraded my Mac to macOS Sonoma I have massive problems on Mac and on the Windows VM:
1. High CPU usage in Windows making it slow and practically unusable.
2. High CPU usage on Mac when streaming video in any browser.
3. Certain specific URLs crash any Mac browser (but not a Windows browser).
In sum, my computer has become unusable, and my work has become a PAIN!
Did anyone experience...

Parallels Client 19 - Problem importing Network Printers

invalid@example.com (Gabriele C) — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 05:53:24 +0000

Hello everybody,
In our factory we have mini PCs (Thin Client type) with Parallels Client (V 17) installed and connected to a server where we have installed Parallels RAS which connects users to a virtual machine (always Windows) on a dedicated server.
Our printers are connected to the company network and installed locally on each mini PC where, in turn, Parallels imports its drivers to work remotely (each printer, once connected with Parallels is named with " for ...

Unfocusing the window with ctrl+alt+home

Hi. Is there any way to disable unfocusing the window with ctrl+alt+home? Currently this combination works just like in mstsc.exe and it brings the focus back to the host. Is there a way to disable it or change the key shortcut to something else?

Hello,
I'd like to ask a question about this weird setting that I can't understand how it works.
What I need to do is with Parallel RAS, in Windows 10/11, through the client to:
Connect and being asked username and password, having the ability to choose to save the password or not.

Starting here (new first-time connection):

Once logged in, I logout.

2X apps showing up on Windows 11 start search

invalid@example.com (maureenspuppet) — Wed, 01 May 2024 16:09:05 +0000

I am noticing that 2X applications are showing up automatically as if it were an installed normal app on the computer when using the start button to search for an application in Windows 11. This presents an issue with confusing results resulting in the user running the wrong application should they be named the same.
This is definitely unwanted by us. 2X apps should only be visible either in the 2x application or from a specifically created shortcut.
I don't see any way to change this...

We've been pushing out a list of connection options to the register via Group Policy for quite a few years. I'd like to get away from this practice and instead rely on the SHAREDEVICE="1:iimport:setting.xml" installation parameter. So far it works great with two issues...

To better explain, we script our installs with INSTALLSSO=1 and would like to include SHAREDEVICE="1:iimport:setting.xml". Part of our script adds "APPServerClient.exe -m" to...

Display Artifacts During Client Use

invalid@example.com (AshH3) — Fri, 15 Mar 2024 19:48:55 +0000

Over the last couple of years of working with Parallels, we have an infrequent issue with display artifacts that is almost always resolved by logging out of all sessions and back into whatever app the client was using. This happens maybe a couple of times quarterly and the issue is resolved long term via a logout of the sessions. However, recently I have a couple of users that are affected by this 10+ times per day every day. I was wondering if anyone had any insight on a potential fix for...

Drag and Drop won't drop sometimes when running Parallels - Windows

invalid@example.com (GeorgeM25) — Thu, 09 Nov 2023 07:17:26 +0000

Hi,
I've noticed that sometimes while Parallels is running (I haven't yet found a pattern for it), my systemwide drag and drop gets weird, such that if I drag something, it never drops, even when I let go of the mouse. I get a system-wide drag and drop problem where the drag action "sticks" and won't let go of the dragged object. Has anyone else experienced this?
Some users have this problem on a Windows terminal server; drag and drop only works again when you log out of the TS and log in...

We have a user that is using one 4k monitor with a few other 1080p monitors. After the computer sits for a while with no interaction the windows all stack in the corner of the primary 4k monitor. Anyone know a solution?

Parallels RAS Client True Full Screen?

invalid@example.com (MatthewS52) — Thu, 27 Jul 2023 11:28:02 +0000

Hi, can someone please advise if it is possible to go full screen while using the RAS Windows client? Under my connection options, in the Display tab, full screen is selected (though greyed out), but the window itself is not full screen. I have the client window bar at the top of the screen and there seems to be no way to go true full screen. Thanks.

Switching users

invalid@example.com (VincentS10) — Thu, 27 Jul 2023 11:07:57 +0000

Hi,
In our company we switch users inside a single windows sessions with our SSO (Evidian) solution. Parallels keeps the first loged in user cached somewhere, so we can't reconnect to another parallels-session with the correct user.

For example:
User1 logs in on the PC and opens in Parallels Client a application, user1 logs in with his credentials in the application.
User2 logs in on the same PC and opens the same application in Parallels and user2 is working under the account of user1.
