    There's a windows only software that I'm using Parallels to run called Lumerical. This was working fine for about 6 months, but starting last week when I try to open the program the entire GUI is just a grey screen and is non-responsive. I've attached a picture of what the program looks like when I try to open it, and I've also attached what the GUI is supposed to look like.

    1) 2.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7
    2) macOS Monterey v 12.0.1
    3) Currently have 16.5.1 of Parallels. I've tried downloading the latest 17 version but it did not fix the problem, so I reverted back to 16.5.1.

    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Lumerical and Parallels, each with different versions and none of them worked.
