    Parallels 20.2.2 (55879) running Windows 11 Pro has become impossibly slow (M4 Pro)

    Literally since yesterday, Windows 11 has started running impossibly slow. Unusable. Software is either hanging or crashing. Is there a known issue with the latest Parallels? Have any other users had this happen? Windows has 16GB RAM and 8 CPUs, so I don't see why performance should be a problem.

    Latest macOS on MacBook Pro M2. Latest Parallels version...

    Will not offer to update to the latest version of Windows 11. Why not? The option in Settings of Windows 11 tells me there is a newer version of Windows 11, but there is no option up install it. On my real Windows machine, that option did show and install.
