It's rather tedious to walk through all the manual steps described here when setting up a new VM about to run Microsoft Visual Studio.
Moreover, that blog has become obsolete meanwhile. And the configuration options therein are given using invalid quotes.
Can't we just get a simple option in the GUI (at VM > Settings ... > Hardware > Processors) doing all the job, by just clicking a single checkbox?
