Thanks - very interesting regarding the task manager. I just received an update of Parallels this morning -- v12.2.0 (41591)
This morning, I've been trying a different test:
- The only app I have open is Notepad++ -- nothing else, no VS, no SSMS, no File Explorer. I also closed my Caffienated just in case. (NOTE: Caffeinated is a small app I run in the background that keeps my VM awake so it doesn't time out and force me to login all the time. Since it does some magic under the covers to "move" the mouse in order to accomplish this, I thought it might be a factor.)
- I moved the large file to a local (to the VM) folder to eliminate questions of the shared file system.
- McAfee is still running on the VM as disabling this is problematic. I can disable it, but it does not stay once the next policy update occurs, which is every few minutes and the policy's aren't available for me to alter.
- I'm running a timer to see if I can determine a time-related pattern.
- So far, I've noted that the "double-click needed" behavior seems to proceed the complete pause.
