Visual Studio 2022 text input lags horribly

I have an issue with my Windows 10 virtual machine lagging. This manifests itself most annoyingly with Visual Studio 2022 17.4.5, where typing lags by several hundred ms, even in a simple text window writing a readme note. Scrolling is quite jerky as well. I have this problem only with 3D Acceleration turned on, so for now I have turned that off to get a usable work environment back.

I would like to know if someone is running VS2022 without that insufferable lag on an Intel Mac with either Monterey or Ventura, with Fusion 12 or 13, and 3D Acceleration turned on.

I use Fusion 12.2.5, on Monterey 12.6.3, on an Intel MacBook Pro (2019, 32 GB, 8 core, Radeon Pro 5500M 8GB), on a 4K external display.

No, that's unusual.  What's the guest configuration?  On that machine it shouldn't be more than 6 cores (4 ideal) and 28GB (26 ideal).

Guest has 12 GB / 6 cores, so there is no issue with memory trashing.

Given that the issue is not there with VS2019, or when turning off 3D acceleration, I suspect this has to do with support for the new accelerated GDI calls.

The cores might be a bit much, especially if the host is doing anything substantial, but yeah, that seems likely.

Turns out that Fusion 13 has resolved this issue
