@ColoradoMarmot I never found any use for the Fusion Tools - so not having them does not bother me.  But I am sure some users do.  Same with the Parallels Tools - they are there but I don't need or use them.  As for issues and limitations with Parallels - I have had pretty much zero issues, using it daily since Windows 11 was announced last year.  Maybe once I had to reset Parallels, a quick easy job with immediate tech support.  And Parallels on an M1 Mac launches much faster than any VMware Fusion release I have ever owned - going back a very long time. I think I get beat up here in the forum because it is mostly big company IT voices, and VMware fans. .  I'm just a guy out here trying to get my shiny, slick, ultra cool Apple M1 laptop run a piece of software first developed 35 years ago.  Kind of joking - I owned the first IBM PC (XT version - paid for it out with my own cash, too).  But decades of pain and suffering led me to Apple, with one lonely Windows program I still have to have,
