Fusion CPU usage Windows 10 guest

Hi I'm experiencing high CPU usage on the my MacOS Catalina host (and also did before i upgraded to mojave and later catalina)

I've tried the previously mentioned fixes with disabling application shortcuts and disabling the metal renderer without success.

What I do see though is that the macOS log is practically filled with this. I can't keep system messages open because then the CPU-usage get even worse:

Any ideas?

Hi,

It is the Host that has high cpu usage. The guest CPU usage is low to moderate.

Best Regards
