Mouse / keyboard no longer works

Hello,
I've been using the technical preview since day 1 and have gone through every update since. Up until two nights ago everything worked fine.
Today, for some reason, Parallels no longer accepts mouse or keyboard commands. I can't login or do anything. I've restarted it, restarted the laptop, I've tried it with the Big Sur latest beta + current stable version, I've reinstalled Parallels, I've changed the input settings to auto / don't detect for games, I've tried USB mice / keyboards - nothing makes a difference. It accepts no input at all.
When I try to switch to coherence I get the following:

When I try to do that, nothing happens ^^^^
I sent my technical data / report (#366888891) before creating this forum post.

I had the same issue by the sounds of it... Mouse would freeze as soon as I clicked on something. Parallels provided no support via messenger. I had seen online there was an update to parallels 16.5 ? I updated and still nothing. I deleted/uninstalled windows and re-installed and mouse worked again.

I uninstalled Windows, and re-installed, and I'm good to go now. My mouse would disappear after clicking, and my keyboard was unresponsive. I removed Windows and didn't keep files. Maybe try doing the same, but keeping your files?

M1 Macbook Air, 2020. Ok had this problem, almost had to reinstall Windows, I remembered that I used TimeMachine and was able to restore to the previous day. Bacon = Saved. Now its annoying. I tried hooking up an external USB mouse and Keyboard, Failed. I tried launching programs from the Mac side, Failed. I tried F8, F4, F..... Failed. Parallels really needs a boot to safe mode option in their menu system! VMWare does it. We are very close to a happy Windwos/Mac programming experience. We just needs some more tweaks.
