> I mean, yes, I've had more issues back when I still used Windows Tbh I don't understand why an OS would allow applications to prevent sleep either, but you mentioned MS Teams and I mentioned Google :) I don't think IntelliJ ever prevented sleep for me, but I mostly used the Android Studio flavor. I've caught it using up all my ram though if i left it on for weeks. As for Parallels, I've never tried to close a laptop with a running VM on it. I don't know why, but I always suspend the VMs manually (from the Parallels menu for example) if i use them.
