VMware windows guest machine freezes during work by RDP
Preconditions:
I have a guest virtual machine on Windows 8.1 using VMWare Workstation 15.5.6 build-16341506. I use it for development. It is places on a separate SSD disk of the host machine.
I have a host machine on the same Windows 8.1 in my office with guest virtual machine above. Windows is installed on C:\ drive of own SSD disk.
Steps:
- I connect via RDP from home (windows 10) to host machine in office.
- From host machine I open virtual machine (guest)
- Write code and work in guest machine.
- Collapse RDP connection to host machine (return to home)
- Return back to host machine and virtual machine (key step)
- Work, wait for 2-5 minutes. Make some operation like run desktop application or Visual Studio, or code in Visual Studio IDE. Or sometime (randomly) when SSD read or write operations accrued.
Expected result: no freezes for host or guest machine
Actual Result: guest machine freezes for about 15-30 seconds. CPU (previously I thought that HDD) usage of host machine rises to 100%. I can collapse VMWare workstation while it it frozen and work by RDP with host machine without any problems
Additionally: If go to office and work with guest VMWare machine - I will never have any freezes. In version 12 I had no such a problem.
Also I already changed system HHD of host machine to SSD. And mainboard was also changed
Could you please help to fix this problem?
