After upgrade of my mac Intel to Monterey 12.2, Parallels desktop 17.1.1 is not working anymore. ( window 10)
It was working fine with Monterey 12.1.
After updating I had battery drain issues in sleep mode, battery drained from almost 100 to 0 overnight. Previously was completely fine.
Got the same battery problem
Two problems with my new Mini Mac M1 2000 (Model: Macmini9,1) with Monterey 12.1 (upgraded to 12.2 two days ago) – using Logitec M235 Wireless Mouse:
(1) The mouse freezes quite often – necessitating powering off and restarting that starts with an unfrozen mouse.
(2) Often after sleep mode, the Mini Mac refuses to wake up and needs power-off jiggling to restart. At times, the mouse remains inoperative that requires rebooting.
No improvement was noticed after upgrading to 12.2 Monterey. Fortunately, rebooting after power off by holding down the power switch corrects the problem each time – but did not expect such problems at all.

My Logi mouse – M590 cannot scroll down probably.
Any way to fix? I have tried restart and reconnect bluetooth but it doesn’t help.
I play Trickster Bridge and the audio does not work with Monterey 12.2.1 and it has always worked before. My audio works in all other apps – like zoom
Robyn – I have the same problem; did you get it fixed and if so, how?
Have you tried using AirPods or any other headset or earphones?
