This is a known issue Release Notes for VMware Horizon 7 version 7.3.2​ We've seen it intermittently impacting customers using Persistent Disk.  For awhile it looked as though some 1607 CBB versions are fine, but recently a customer using the latest 1607 reported this issue again.  This issue stems from a fundamental change in cryptographic checks for Win 10, recomposing leads to mismatch between VM and persistent disk, this seems to impact some Windows Store Apps, Cortana search.  There's no fix for it. VMware's guidance is for customers to use folder redirection instead of persistent disk.  

Instant Clone does not support VAAI, so the creation of the replica is a full clone copy (rather than offloading to storage array).  All other internal VMs and clones use efficient cloning technologies, therefore the overall speed is fast.

Yes this is expected behavior to protect the content of the VM.  This is not specific to instant clones.  see this KB https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1000590https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/viewdocument.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1000590 setting pae-DirtyVMPolicy=2 should help you.

Hi Rick, Our engg suggests that you open up a case with GSS.  They can help to see if you have anything running in your OS that is contributing to this, and can escalate to the right engineering team if they can't pinpoint the issue. -Angela,
