Parallels Pro Tips and Shortcuts
After two years of daily use, these are the tricks I keep coming back to.
They squeeze more Parallels speed out of the same Mac.
キーボードショートカット
| アクション | ショートカット |
|---|---|
| Enter or exit coherence mode | Ctrl + Cmd + C |
| Enter full screen mode | Ctrl + Cmd + F |
| Release mouse from the VM | Ctrl + Alt |
| Open Windows Start menu | Cmd (mapped) |
ほとんどの人が見逃す隠れた機能
- 旅行 モード: Actions, then Travel Mode, caps power draw when you work on battery.
- Free trial VMs: The download wizard installs Linux, Windows and other OSs at no cost.
- Game controller support: Pair a controller and play windows ゲーム like Rocket League and Fall Guys.
Parallels Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake #1: Giving the VM every core you own
❌ 間違い: Assigning all CPUs and RAM, which starves mac os and slows both sides.
✅ 右: Give the virtual machine half your cores and roughly a third of your memory.
Mistake #2: Skipping Parallels Tools
❌ 間違い: Running windows without Tools, so drag-and-drop and screen resolution scaling never work.
✅ 右: Install Parallels Tools right after setup and reboot the guest once.
Mistake #3: Expecting Intel software on apple silicon
❌ 間違い: Buying old x86 software and hoping it installs on an M-series Mac.
✅ 右: Check the vendor page first, since Intel applications run through emulation and can stumble.
Parallels Troubleshooting
Problem: The VM will not start after a macOS update
原因: The kernel extensions no longer match the newest Mac OS build.
修理: Update to the latest versions of Parallels, then restart your computer once.
Problem: Windows keeps asking for activation
原因: Parallels supplies the installer, but not the windows license itself.
修理: Buy a key from Microsoft and enter it under Settings, then Activation.
Problem: Shared folders are missing inside Windows
原因: Sharing was switched off, or Parallels Tools failed during install.
修理: Open Configure, then Sharing, and set Mac folders to Share All Disks.
📌 注記: If none of these fix your issue, contact Parallels support.
