Has anyone been having an issue with windows 10 in Big Sur where the vm shuts off after an update seems to occur, then right after login the vm shuts off? started today, and I can only replicate it with windows 10. it happens after an update applies (could be a new update) and I know this because I had the vm backed up and it starts up, then applies some update then after restart it performs this unexpected behavior.

Here's a movie. The endless login cycle that you never, ever, ever get past.

More time completely wasted. Probably the tenth attempted install. What a joke.

I have the same issue. Unable to login after installation.
Nothing worked. Tried no password on the admin account. Tried not logging in to iCloud. Turns out all the suggestions were red herrings, and for me, worthless. I have a non-working beta in Parallels with a login screen that that spins, blacks out, back to login screen; spins, blacks out, login screen. Boom. Boom. Boom.
It just doesn't work.

I am experiencing big problem in both Windows 7 and XP clients on my macbook pro using big sur. 1 2 and t y does not working makes me difficult to log onto any online payment clients(which I can only access in windows).
Would you please make a quick fix for it, thanks.
I got message from SUpport to add the missing keys into Shortcuts for respective VM under options.

How did you install parallels desktop 16 build 48516, i am still not able to get installed for it? FYI, i am paid user of 15.

Install WITHOUT setting up Apple ID/iCloud. This will workaround that issue. Of course, you won't have access to App Store or any iCloud service, except through the browser.

Hello,
please try the following:
From the menu bar click Parallels Desktop icon (II) > Preferences > Shortcuts, then select the VM in question and click the plus button to create the corresponding shortcut for the necessary symbol. Repeat for each symbol that cannot be typed.
Please share any results with us.

Hello, it's a know issue and Parallels Engineering Team are currently working on the resolution.
Thanks you for your time.
I have a similar issue on my MBP2018. "1" and "2" don't work in any VMs. I have tried Windows10, Ubuntu and Mint and even reinstalled Big Sur but the problem is still there.I installed the Big Sur beta on a 2018 Mac Mini (host OS) and found that the "t" and "y" keys don't work in any Parallels VMs. I noticed that right away on a Windows 10 VM and also found that the keys didn't work on a Linux live boot CD. Creating a custom entry send-key for "t" and "y" does work - had to do that to enter a password
Other than that obviously important issue, I was pleasantly surprised that everything else seems to generally work under Big Sur.
I know this is completely unsupported by everyone involved, but any guesses on a workaround? I didn't see many options to try fiddling with in terms of keyboard settings.
