Hi all, My post is going unanswered on the parallels forum, hopefully someone can answer this here. What exactly is the bottleneck for Parallels Desktop on Mac? All I'm running on the Windows VM is the Microsoft Office suite and my CRM, but every time I use my external monitor Windows becomes very laggy, e.g. Reduced framerate, black-bars where menus should be, and mouse clicks not registering. I've tried the suggestions on Parallel's own product guide such as allotting more RAM to the VM, but the performance increase is negligible and temporary.

Parallels Desktop comes in three editions: Desktop 12 for Mac, Pro and Business. Pro increases virtual RAM support up to 64GB, and Business adds on centralized administration and management, along.

I'm running Parallels on my 2016 MBPtb and MacOS runs flawlessly even while the Windows VM is running. Any suggestions would be helpful, I really don't want to go back to my Windows machine! I've never really used 'external monitor' mode, I just drag the Parallels window to one screen and maximise it there. That way i can still switch other mac apps on top as needed. I love coherence mode though, shame it's a tad laggy. Curious, Does your macbook have both the intel and AMD graphics cards in it? If so, try setting it to ONLY use the dedicated graphics (AMD) -- i had to do that due to some issues switching on/off from my USBC dock and sleep mode.

It drains the battery much faster if you run on battery, but I'm pretty much always docked, so I don't really see any impact from it. Could be a factor. Download quickbooks pro 2015. FWIW, my Windows 10 is configured: 4 Processors, 8GB RAM. Adaptive Hypervisor. Graphics are set to 512MB, and 'Best for Retina' • • • • •.
