Overview

  • Parallels adapts to macOS 26 background‑process limits so Coherence mode and setup routines continue to function.
  • Windows virtual machines now read actual free disk space on the Mac host, reducing installation failures and performance slowdowns.
  • A new Enterprise Management Portal adds granular controls for USB, shared folders, clipboard sharing, and network policies, with broader centralized configuration described as coming soon.
  • IT teams can monitor and trigger Windows OS updates inside VMs via Jamf Pro or other MDM platforms using Parallels' GitHub scripts.
  • Parallels confirms renewed SOC 2 Type II compliance and aligns versioning with Apple's scheme, with Desktop 26 available now across Standard, Pro, Business, and Enterprise editions.
