Corrupt or black window for some applications

This has been an intermittent problem for me since switching to Parallels for Apple Silicon.
Sometimes after a Windows 11 update, the display for some apps is corrupt or black.
It usually affects Microsoft Edge and the Terminal App:

Removing Parallels tools fixes the display for these apps, reinstalling it corrupts the display.
Any suggestions?
 
Well, I figured it out myself with the help of Perplexity.
First, I turned on Software Rendering (WARP) in Terminal which fixed the black screen:

That made me realize that it is a graphics rendering issue.
 
Then I ran this:
sfc /scannow
Which reported some of the graphics drivers were corrupt and it repaired them.
Now all of the Edge, Chrome and Terminal pages render correctly.
