Windows 11 login loop

My Mac went into sleep most last night with parallels open and now when I try to log into windows (its never had me ever login before its always done it automatically) it asks for a password, I type in my Microsoft account password and it then goes back to same sign up screen. I click sign in again and it starts this process over. Ive reset the computer, the vm, windows itself and it always brings me back to this screen when it never did before.

Anyone have any ideas?

Process:

Turn on Parallels
Brings up windows log in screen with time and blue background
Click the screen
Brings up my name Login name with "Sign In' below
Click sign in and it brings up an external windows called "Microsoft Account" asking me to put in my password
Type in password, hit sign in
Brings me back to a sign in screen but with "New User" and "Username" options
Click sign in and process start from the beginning

In the past week I've used parallels I never once saw this login screen, I would always turn on parallels from my Mac and I would be logged in, no need for username or password.

Thanks for the help guys hopefully its something easy!

Hello everyone,

I did my best to layout what I did via parallels support but what got me the best results and i've been loop free since then. During VM setup you can now download a copy of Windows 11 inside Parallels and do not have to go through that ISO garbage. I downloaded during install, then purchased windows 11 home key and have not had one single problem since. This may not be what most want to hear because you need to buy a license if that's not your thing but it worked for me. I now login with my Microsoft pin. I run steam with no problems the problem now that I have sent up to the next level of support is while the Xbox controller connects it doesn't work in anything but I Found a great video on how to get around that problem with no lag!

If I can help anyone get past this please let me know and I'll try to go over it all again. That's what I did and don't just buy the activation get a license KEY because if you need it to reinstall you can easily.

Regards all!

I am also having this problem. With a few minutes of inactivity, or after some time, Windows 11 keeps going to lock screen. I have made sure in Windows 11 Settings that after screen saver is stopped, never to go to lock screen. It still happens?
