    When I try to start the VM it gets stuck on "Please wait". Yes, I let it on the entire night to check if it really gets stuck. It does. So, how can I fix this? Or do you need more information.

    Hello,

    Judging by the technical report on the host there is not enough free space on the hard disk, which could cause the virtual machine to corrupt.

    Free up hard disk space and try to start the virtual machine again.

    If the virtual machine does not start, collect a new technical report.

    Hey, thank you! This didn't help me, but it did make me delete a 5GB file (an ISO file) in my downloads folder. After that I restarted Parallels Desktop and stopped the process where it showed "Please wait". Then I clicked the Parallels Desktop icon at the top and clicked "Windows 11". It worked!

    Thank you for your support :) - This is now solved
