Image recognition in Parallels VM

Post by timi2fly » Mon Mar 09, 2020 7:23 am

I cannot get the image recognition function to detect basic images when run under a Parallels VM (Windows 10 Pro). I have used it successfully in VMWare VMs previously, however the most recent version of Parallels seems to be much better than VMWare's offerings so I have started using this.

Has anyone had any success or suggestions on getting this working?

Have not tried it under Parallels, but have no problem under VirtualBox. And really don't see why it would make any difference anyway. Is your resolution the same every time you start the session or is Parallels somehow adapting/modifying it each time you start like for e.g. how RDP changes it if you have fit to window - that kind of thing could make a difference since the resolution is not static and is adopted from the host/window size.
