"Unable to load Parallels drivers" on macOS Big Sur Beta

[JohnW54]

When I try to launch Windows 10 using Parallels 16.0.1, I get an error message advising "Unable to load the Parallels driver." I am running the Mac on the Big Sur Public Beta OS.

The solution suggested by Parallels involves going into System Preferences/Security & Privacy, but Security & Privacy is inaccessible; I get a "Preferences Error" and a message advising "There was an error in Security & Privacy preferences." I have searched Mac forums and found others experiencing the same issue. I also understand that some users find this problem goes away when Parallels is uninstalled.

Same issue, hopefully there is a fix. At least there's RDP.

I have upgraded to Big sur 11.4 and reinstalling Parallels desktop to 16.5, I couldn't download Windows 10 back. A technician tried to help me but he couldn't find the fault and still the message shows up: 'unable to load Parallels driver'. Any other solutions that I can get will be highly appreciated.

After updating from 16.5.0 to 16.5.1 Parallels does not start the VM giving back the error "Unable to load the Parallels driver." I am running on a macOS HighSierra 10.13.6. Tried restarting MAC and reinstalling Parallels 16.5.1, no success.
