After updating to Parallels Desktop 26.1.1 (build 57288) on my ARM-based Mac, I'm experiencing persistent issues with IIS Express inside a Windows VM. Specifically: IIS Express fails to serve requests reliably, often resulting in connection reset errors. The issue seems tied to changes in network adapter behavior introduced in the update. I'm running in a corporate environment with CyberArk EPM, which may be interfering with port access or loopback connections. Switching network modes (Shared, Bridged, Host-Only) hasn't resolved the issue. I could also no longer connect to my Ubuntu SQL Server VM, but resolved that by installing SQL 2025 locally.
