    This morning I *Was* able to fix this using the posted directions from @CoryL1

    Here's how to find the Emulation Settings thing!

    Find your QB App in Windows (In my case it resides in "C:\Program Files\Intuit\Quickbooks Enterprise Solutions 24.0\QBWEnterprise.exe")

    Right Click and choose Properties

    Click the Compatibility Tab

    Under the section called "Windows on Arm" click "Change emulation settings"

    You will see a pulldown with an arrow that likely says "default"

    Click that pulldown and you should see the "Very Strict execution" choice at the bottom of that list

    Choose that, hit OK, Then Apply, then reboot!

    Hopefully this will work for you!

    Hello everyone,
    Please note that our team is still working on the issue.
    For the time being, the workarounds to use QuickBooks are:

    a) To change the emulation settings for Quickbooks in the Properties of the Application.

    b) If the above still leads to the same issue, Downgrade to Parallels Desktop 26.0.1.

    The steps to proceed with the above workarounds are outlined in this article: https://kb.parallels.com/en/131061

    Kind Regards,
    Parallels Team

    See the BEST ANSWER above in this thread that refers to https://kb.parallels.com/en/131061 which has a link to a disk image installer for v26.0.1.
