Parallels VM Crashes When Using Bluetooth on Windows 10
Parallels VM Crashes When Using Bluetooth on Windows 10 Environment:
Host OS: macOS 13.7 Intel Virtual Machine Software: Parallels Desktop 20 Guest OS: Windows 10 Bluetooth Device: Raspberry PI
Issue Summary: When attempting to connect a Bluetooth device or transfer data via BLE GATT inside a Windows 10 virtual machine running inside Parallels for Mac, the entire VM crashes unexpectedly.
Steps to Reproduce:
Start the Windows 10 virtual machine in Parallels. Enable Bluetooth inside the VM. Attempt to pair a Bluetooth device or transfer message over BLE GATT. The Parallels VM crashes completely.
Code works perfectly inside the VM.
Shouldn't you be reporting this to Parallels?
It's difficult to determine if the issue is caused by the Bleak library or if it's a problem within Parallels itself. Other Bluetooth applications run without crashing the VM, so it seems specific to this use case. I will investigate further to narrow it down, and I've reported it to them as well.
