Hi All,
I've been running Microsoft Office with Parallels/Windows 11 on my M1 MBP for the past year or so. I've had varying degrees of connectivity issues inside of Excel/Word for the entire time but this is new. Just recently, every time I open an office program (usually excel) it will ask me to sign in to validate my office 365 subscription, and then give me an error message that "We are unable to connect right now. Please check your network and try again later". This is strange for a number of reasons. Right off the bat, the rest of the Windows VM has perfect connectivity with the rest of my programs and the web. Additionally, office itself is still able to check for and download product updates! So the part of office that runs the update process has connectivity, but the part that validates sign on and licensing has no connectivity.
So far I've tried:
Refreshing Windows 11 Install
Reinstalling Office
Reinstalling Parallels tools
Doing a bunch of network reset commands in the Command Prompt
I'm getting the sense that this is an office compatibility issue more than anything else at this point, but i'm unsure of how to proceed or what to try next. Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.
