1. Why do I need to enter a password when first run?

Because of the new authentication measure introduced in PD 17.1.0, you need to bypass it by quickly switching the system time. A "Privileged Helper" needs to be installed on the system to change the time.
If you don't do this, you will need to enter the password every time you start an VM.

2. Why does PD Runner start without any windows?

PD Runner is a menu-based application, it only show an icon in the menu bar for use after starting, and there is no main window.

3. Do I need to change the VM to a specific name to use it?

No, PD Runner can automatically list the VMs in the current system automatically.

lihaoyun6 and MikeWang000000 originally made the PD Runner app for macOS. But the repository was taken down due to a DMCA takedown notice. Hence, the credits goes to them for creating this amazing application. You can read more about the DMCA takedown notice from here.
