    I'm using Apple Silicon M2 MacBook Pro. I installed Window 11 virtual machine on Parallels Desktop 18.1.0.
    Today I updated Parallels Desktop 18.1.1 and now it crashes sometimes in the middle of working with 3ds max.
    It said it is related to some graphics issues and asked me to report it.

    anyway, I was wondering if I can rollback it to previous minor version 18.1.0
    and if it is possible, how exactly it can be done ?
    maybe I need uninstall Parallels Tools from my Win 11 first. am I right? and then where I can get 18.1.0 version and reinstall it ?

    Someone else will have to get the link, but yes, simply uninstalling Only Parallels and reinstalling the older version will 'roll back' the version. You just then load the existing VMs, a tools update later, and you should be back to where you were. While I'm not 100% positive on how it would work out, it's still recommended to reach out to support to report/troubleshoot the actual issue.

    Yeah, I agree with you. reinstalling is not a solution.

    about 3ds max with Win11 VM,
    I changed display driver from Nitrous DirectX 11 (default) to Nitrous Software and then everything works better.
    No graphic issues so far and I guess I don't have to worry about degrading parallels version.

    Before you roll back, try something. Seems strange, but it solved a lot of problems for me. I changed my networking from Shared to "Bridged" with the "default adapter".
