Hi to all,
I have a problem with EVERY virtual machine I am using with vmWare Workstation Player 12.0. I suppose the problem regards host OS, since virtual machines work on other host OS.
The problem is that when I try to run a VM, if I select 2 processors, host OS uses 50% of the CPU, while guest in almost freezed. If i select 1 processors, same behaviour, with host at 25% of CPU usage. I have tryed changing RAM, but without any results. Virtual machines were working perfectly with only 1Gb RAM.
My host OS is Intel Core i7 3Ghz, 16Gb RAM, Hard disk SSD, 64 bit.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

check the VMware Workstation best practices , the doc is a little old but it might give you an idea

Not useful, I suppose it is about a Windows Update or something else. Other colleagues with my same hardware configuration have the same problem.
