Hi,
I'm running a guest Windows 10 x64 OS in VMware Workstation 17, guest and host specs are listed below.
The guest OS is really slow and laggy especially the MS Office apps i.e. Outlook, Word, Teams etc take forever to load to browse through them is painfully slow. I don't see any hardware resource limitations, as more than enough resources are allocated for the VM. Even during heavy use, the CPU/Memory max go up to 50%.
Apps works perfectly well on the host OS but slow and laggy on the guest.
VMtools is installed, version 12.1.0.20219665. Windows is up-to-date with latest patches, Win10 22H2 19045.2364.
I've removed all visual enhancement settings from the guest OS but no improvement.
Have lowed the guest OS resolution to 1920x1080 with no improvements. host display is 4K.
