I have VMWare Workstation Pro 15.5.1 build-15018445 running on linux Ubuntu host.
I run Windows 7 x64 as a guest system.
My PC is quite powerful - 2x Xeon 32 core CPUs, 64 GB RAM
But virtual windows is running very slow.
Is there a was to increase virtual machine priority? Or set affinity to specific cores only?
VM specification? Storage type?
2x CPU with 2 threads
8 GB RAM
I'm using real windows partition (raw disk) - not an disk image.
What type of hard drive do you have?
SSD
top shows that vmx-vcpu-0 thread constantly takes almost 100% cpu
