Slow Win10 performance on OSX 10.11 Fusion 8

[dataf1sh123]

Wondering if anyone has very unresponsive and lagging performance running Windows 10 Pro on Fusion 8 with OSX 10.11.

I use a MBPro (Late 2013) 15" Retina with external 4K monitor, resolution is great but the performance of tabbing, moving the mouse, opening & closing programs is crippling.

On Fusion 7 with the same hardware i had Win 7 running perfectly, it did require a vmware hardware downgrade to 10 for it to work.

Have tried the same method on Win 10 but still not running as smooth as i am sure it can, anyone got any advice?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

VGAuth is part of CAF (Common Agent Framework).

On a stand alone machine you don't really need it AFAIK, it is there for administrative purposes so that the guest can be managed from a central location.

What is "Guest Authentication (vgauth)" and "Common Agent (caf)"?

Windows 10 is alive again! Thank you for the performance tip!!
I was nearly giving up VMware and Windows 10.
Also been trying Virtualbox with same VM since you can import it easily.
