I am having the same issue. MS Access 2021 crashes on Parallels Desktop v17 w/ Windows 11 ARMS on MacBook Pro M1 Pro chip. 

 

Have they provided a fix or workaround that works? 

 

Thank you,

No. I haven't had time but I plan to try removing Windows 11 ARM and trying to install Windows 10 ARM to see if this will fix the problem.

    I already tried that. It is the same issue as if Microsoft Access database was not designed for ARM chip. I thought that they would have made it ARM native with the recent release of Office 2021, but this issue still exists. Microsoft Technical Support don't have any answer and don't want to support. No response on any of the tickets or Tech support chats (Calls are not supported).
