https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Delay-opening-host-Windows-11-drives-from-Windows-7-guest/m-p/2967418#M181195 <P>I have a Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) VM running on a Windows 11 Pro laptop. I set up the host's drives C and D as Shared Folders (mapped to drive Z) on the VM. When I access either drive from Windows 7 File Explorer, there is a couple second delay before the folder opens, noticeably slower than opening a folder on the virtual drive C. Is there a setting I can change to speed up this access?</P><P>Additional info: I set up a single folder from the host as shared, and the lag is still there.</P><P>Thanks!</P><P>Mike B.</P> Mon, 08 May 2023 21:47:10 GMT mboldrick 2023-05-08T21:47:10Z https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Delay-opening-host-Windows-11-drives-from-Windows-7-guest/m-p/2967418#M181195 <P>I have a Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) VM running on a Windows 11 Pro laptop.
