Hello,
Are you running AVG, Avast or BitDefender 2017 antivirus at the host OS?
If AVG or Avast then see:
XP VM suddenly slow, Win 7 fine
for a solution on using both antivirus products along with VMware
TL;DR
In Avast Settings, troubleshooting you should uncheck the "Enable hardware-assisted virtualization" feature.
In AVG Settings, troubleshooting, uncheck "Enable hardware-assisted virtualization" feature.
Note that you will have to reboot to apply the change and make it permanent.
If you are running BitDefender 2017 at the host then the only solution that I am aware about is to uninstall and revert to an older version of BitDefender.
