Unity desktop displays nothing in the workspace

From past 2-3 days, unity desktop doesn't display anything in the workspace other than launcher and menu bar.
I have tried reinstalling the unity desktop, booting in recovery mode and trying to repair it, but nothing seems to work. I had face something similar long time ago. I think I ended up reinstalling the OS last time.
Any clue to what is happening? Any suggestions appreciated.
PS: Setup: Ubuntu 16.04 on Parallels

Did you change the graphics driver, or the monitor resolution? It is hard to say what's happening without knowing what has happened before.

In Unity, the desktop is managed by nautilus (the default file manager). Have you tried resetting/reinstalling nautilus?

@user68186: Yeah I was trying to increase the default video memory allocated by parallels. But I never changed the graphics driver.
