    I am using Parallels 19.1.1 (54734) and on my Windows 11 VM, I do not seem to be able to use the Snipping Tool to take a screenshot. When I try to do so, the screen flashes with a black screen and then turns my Teams app window black permanently. I cannot get rid of the black screen and end up having to reboot the VM. Is anyone experiencing this issue?

    Thanks -- the issue seems to be resolved after I did a Windows Update. I can now use the Snipping Tool again.
