VMWare Host Slow Response after Workstation Suspend

[azeembh]

I was able to solve an issue related to VMware, and wanted to share my experience.

Issue

I was having slow response in the host PC, if I suspend a virtual machine (case is for Windows 8.1)

FIX

After searching through internet, my issue was resolved after making following steps:

1. Check the option “Disable memory page trimming” in Advanced setting for virtual machine
2. In “C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Player\config.ini”, and “C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini”, added the following entries
   1. prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100"
   2. mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE"
   3. mainMem.partialLazySave = "FALSE"
   4. mainMem.partialLazyRestore = "FALSE"
