None of those steps cured QB Premier's hard crash on using Help until QB released their 2022 upgrade. As Parallels added support for TPM and other essential services for Win11, I enabled all of those too. I'd upgraded my Parallels install to the latest v17 and Windows to the Win11 ARM developer's version. Remote Desktop gets me in just fine and I'll probably stay with that approach until the dust settles on the whole Windows on Apple h/w question. Right now, to avoid buying any Windows machine, I'm running QB on a leased Win10 VPS.

I imagine that the fallback to Win10 for ARM will also not be a supported scenario for MS either since they appear to be taking a stance on support for any Windows on any Apple silicon platform. This goes beyond support for QB and raises questions about whether Parallels can outpatch Microsoft as soon as they end the beta trial for Win11. At present, I have the Win11 beta and the MS test refuses to upgrade to the supported version because the processor is Apple silicon. My main concern now is Microsoft's statement that they're not going to support Win11 on Apple silicon, like ever. Font sizes are often way too small and the only way to trick that out that I can find is a global change to screen resolution that makes everything else too big. There remain some issues with the screen display. This version so far runs without crashing under Parallels v17 with Win11 ARM Developer Beta.
