Parallels Desktop 26.2

Parallels has issued version 26.2 of its Parallels Desktop for Mac virtualization software, a maintenance update focused primarily on bug fixes. The release adds support for safe, limited keystroke forwarding from a Windows virtual machine to enable Dragon Medical One to use macros to control Epic Hyperspace. Parallels Desktop 26.2 also resolves an issue that caused the game Vampyr to freeze in Windows 11, fixes a bug that caused Microsoft Office 365 windows to disappear after switching a Windows 11 25H2 virtual machine to Coherence mode, addresses a GPU usage spike when switching to Coherence mode, ensures the Windows Start menu appears correctly in Coherence mode, and fixes various issues with the Windows app folder in the macOS dock. It also resolves an issue that caused long delays when copying text from a Linux virtual machine and pasting it on your Mac, and addresses compatibility issues between Parallels Tools for Linux and Debian 13. ($99.99 annual subscription for Standard Edition, $119.99 annual subscription for Pro Edition, $149.99 annual subscription for Business Edition, upgrades available, 5.4 MB installer, release notes, macOS 13+)
