VMware Workstation 17.0 Pro - Ubuntu VM Slow

Good Afternoon.

After scraping through several other posts relating to the similar issues I am experience, I will keep this brief. I've implemented one of the solutions (powercfg /powerthrottling disable /path "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\x64\vmware-vmx.exe") which has fixed half of the issues such as booting/shutting down and application start up. However I still have 2 noteworthy issues: severe latency/input delay with using something basic as a terminal or typing this post and trying to drag & drop files from my host machine onto/into my VMs desktop and desktop directory with no results other than an odd "shadow" of the file that can be visually seen on the desktop GUI but not seen in the file directory or terminal (yet it can be dragged and dropped into any other directory I've tried so far and it is successful). Any information would be greatly appreciated.
