    Hi, for some time now I have successfully been using the Microsoft Store in a Windows 11 VM. After recent Parallels and Windows 11 updates, I am no longer able to open the Microsoft Store or use online functionality in apps from the Microsoft Store. I've spent hours troubleshooting why.

    I have followed the steps on this page:
    https://kb.parallels.com/en/128520
    I've tried using the Microsoft Store on another Microsoft account, and on a local account.
    I've reinstalled Windows, both as a repair install, and then on a completely fresh VM.
    Nothing has worked. The Microsoft Store still immediately crashes on loading. Sometimes immediately, sometimes after a second or two. I use this VM entirely so that I can use the Microsoft Store apps since they are usually platform-restricted, so Parallels is useless for me without it. Please advise!

    This happened to me too. It's a problem with the 11 ARM insider builds. Something happens to the store when you update through settings.
