CPU Overload

[Tom108]

MacOS BigSur 11.1
MacBookPro 2016 - i7 quadcore - 16GB RAM

VMware Fusion 12.1
Setting: 2core / RAM 4096MB out of 16384MB 

vmware-vmx causes cpu overload up to 250% while using Teams, Office ... system extremely slows down

@Tom108 

You might need to give more information about the VM you are running - the hardware it is configured to use, the OS and version, anything else about it which may be relevant for others to help you...

[Tom108]

I added some information, what are you missing?

[ColoradoMarmot]

First, what does task manager show for CPU usage inside the VM?

[Tom108]

Without interaction 2-40%
Using Teams or outlook, it rises up to 100%

[ColoradoMarmot]

If that's inside the VM, then it's those applications that are causing the spike.  Nothing fusion specific.

I have noticed that teams in particular is really heavy CPU usage, even on my host.

Hi,

Try turning off 3D acceleration for the VM.
