Hi All,

Hoping for some advice here. I got my new Mac mini yesterday and I'm trying to get Parallels working to run a handful of Windows only apps.

After installing Windows 11 ARM Preview from the Insider program, I notice the following:

- The start menu seems to disappear at times, requiring a reboot of the virtual machine.
- Only the 3rd party software I installed seems to launch well.
- I can't launch notepad, or windows settings to opt into the flighting program. Most windows applications tend to be a coin toss as to whether or not they will launch.

From surfing around the forums, it seems folks are having better luck than I. Hoping someone can make a few suggestions to where I may have went wrong.
 
Exactly the same issues. MacBook Pro 16" M1 Max.
Latest Parallels: 17.1.0 (51516)
Latest Win 11 ARM VHDX: 22483

Cannot run Settings and most Win 11 native apps.
Win menu is freezing or unresponsive sometimes
From events log I see that SearhIndexer.exe crashing, so no search in Win menu

Tried to install "Configure for Games", "Configure for Development", totally custom install, etc
 
I installed ARM preview as well, and the start menu seemed to ignore all attempts to interact with it. I think Windows also updated and rebooted.
Did you install the Parallels Tools? Ctl/Alt and under the "Actions" menu, choose "Reinstall Parallels Tools" and that seemed to fix it for me.
 
I'm with SergV, things working much better now! I had tried a few UUP Dump this morning, but thanks for pointing me to the correct one.
