Auto-Updating Parallels Workstation in Windows 
Parallels Workstation includes an auto-update feature. When starting Parallels Workstation for 
the first time, you will receive a notification which asks if you agree for Parallels Workstation to 
perform regular checks for updates: "Parallels Workstation is configured to 
automatically check for updates every week. To do this your host 
computer should be connected to the Internet. You may choose 
another checking period or disable this feature in the 
Preferences/Common screen.
" We recommend you to turn this feature on so you will 
be automatically informed when Parallels Workstation updates are released.  
Parallels Workstation will regularly access the Parallels update server and will check if a newer 
version than the one currently installed is available. By default, update checking is performed 
once a week. Checks are performed in background mode, meaning that you will not be notified 
until an update is found. If Parallels Workstation detects that update is available, auto-update 
asks for installation confirmation with the following message: "A newer version of the 
Parallels Workstation is available. Do you want to start 
Parallels Update Wizard?
" If you want to update, click Yes  to launch the Parallels 
Update Wizard that will download the update.  
Requirements to Your Computer 
To be able to use auto-update feature: 
ƒ  your computer must be connected to Internet. 
Note. If you have firewall and/or antivirus software installed in your primary operating system, 
they may display warnings when Parallels Workstation tries to access Internet for update. Please 
configure them properly to allow Parallels Workstation to perform checks. 
Configuring Auto-Update 
You can specify the frequency of update checks, i.e. daily, weekly, or monthly, in the 
Automatically checks for update option in the Common (page 90) tab of the Preferences window. 
Auto-update checking can be disabled by selecting Never in the same setting. You can enable 
the auto-update feature at a later time by revisiting this menu.
