Now Supporting Windows 11 and macOS Monterey Choose your view to make Windows invisible while still using its applications, or keep the familiar Windows background and controls on your Mac. I hope my experience helps someone else.Parallels allows you to run Windows and Mac applications side by side. Note: I didn't change anything on this tab for the 'Advanced', 'Keyboard', or 'Open Shortcuts Preferences.' settings.Note: You may also be able to select 'Don't optimize for games', too, but I haven't tried that option.Note: The option 'Optimize for games' will cause the mouse to disappear when the VM has focus.Make sure 'Auto-detect for games' is selected next to 'Mouse'.Select the 'Hardware' tab on the top then select the 'Mouse & Keyboard' tab on the left.Make sure to uncheck 'Optimize full screen for games'.Select the 'Options' tab on the top then select the 'Full Screen' tab on the left.Right-click the macOS VM then select 'Configure'.Here's how I disabled 'Do not optimize for Games' in Parallels: After I configured 'Do not optimize for Games' in two places in Parallels, the mouse reappeared, and I am using a macOS 12.4 VM without issues! It turns out, I don't need that setting enabled for macOS.Īt first configuring 'Do not optimize for Games' didn't fix the "missing mouse issue" for me. When I saw the recommendation to configure 'Do not optimize for Games', I remembered that I did enable that option somewhere, but only because I thought I would need it due to what I experienced with a Windows 10 VM using Excel. Then I noticed I had an issue where I could not see the mouse in the VM, just like the users in this thread. The VM booted-up fine and I installed Parallels tools no problem. I recently created a new virtual machine using the macOS recovery partition option in Parallels. I am a new user of Parallels since about a month ago when I got my first MacBook Pro (2019 15" i9 32GB 512GB SSD Vega20) TL DR - you might need to configure 'Do not optimize for Games' in two places per VM, and I'm not sure if this is an issue with other guest OSs than macOS 12.4
