If anyone installs Sierra, I would be interested to know if Parallels / Windows 10 is working correctly with it.

Thank you in advance.

I will let you know later this evening if nobody else does. I'm running 5 different OS's in Parallels.

Parallels Access is a no go ! Keeps giving message to try a reboot or reinstall but the client app doesn't open .. Bummer !

I have an issue with the spacebar not working in Parallels running Windows 10.
It doesn't matter which application I use.

Anybody else had this issue?

Thank you.

I'm having the exact same problem. When I go into settings the Siri keyboard shortcut is set to off.
Darn, I was a little too hopeful. Try manually setting the keyboard shortcut to something else? Not sure. I had configured the shortcut before launching parallels, then changed the shortcut with parallels open and the problem was gone instantly.

This worked. I was set to nothing, with Parallels open I changed it to # and it suddenly started working. Set it back to off and it still works. Very strange, but this really helped.

Same here. Set the Siri shortcut and spacebar works in Parallels. Removed the shortcut...spacebar still works.

But I can't get the Windows Start Menu to appear, even with Coherence off. Anyone else?

I've seen that issue with Windows 10 VMs on parallels before. I usually just jump to to a previous snapshot. It probably isn't related to Sierra. I have windows 10 running in parallels on sierra and with the Siri shortcut fix, everything is working really well. I'm still running off an external drive, but probably by the time the public beta is out, I'll update my internal drive with latest dev because this is the most stable beta I've seen pretty much ever...

Strangely, it's back now. I'd rebooted a few times without success. Then, as I was using the system today, the start menu just started working again out of the blue.

So I now have no issues running Windows 10 in Parallels on macOS Sierra.

I'm a web developer and running Windows 2008 Server and had the same space issue. Can confirm changing or disabling the Siri shortcut does the job.

My only problem so far is sharing does not work. However an easy work around is to just connect to the server manually.

Can't say for 2008 specifically, but my shared drives all mount normally in my Win10 VM while running Sierra.
