Parallels Desktop 27.1 – TidBITS

Parallels has released version 27.1 of its Parallels Desktop for Mac virtualization software to fix multiple OpenGL and 3D graphics rendering issues, graphical glitches, and application crashes affecting CAD and 3D modeling software in Windows virtual machines. The update addresses issues in Windows 11 virtual machines that prevented access to shared iCloud folders in macOS 27 Golden Gate, AirPods Pro 2 headphones from playing sound, and open Terminal commands from being passed to Windows. It also fixes a bug that caused macOS virtual machines to start with a black screen after having been encrypted, resolves an issue where a macOS virtual machine window would display a toolbar despite running in full-screen mode, and ensures drag-and-drop works correctly when dragging a file from the Mac to a Windows virtual machine in full-screen mode.
