Image VERY slow to resume

[RJDickson]

Hi all,

I have a Linux image that has 10GB RAM associated to it.

When under Fusion 8.5.8, on a Macbook Pro, 16GB RAM, with 1TB SSD (primary disk), it takes about 30 seconds to resume

When under Workstation Pro 12.5.7 on Windows 10 with 32GB RAM,  1 TB SSD (secondary M2 1GB internal drive), it takes about 15 minutes to resume.

Yes. 30 seconds vs 15 minutes.

I HAVE to be doing something wrong. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Robert

Hello,

Are you running AVG, Avast or BitDefender 2017 antivirus at the host OS?

If AVG or Avast then see:

XP VM suddenly slow, Win 7 fine

for a solution on using both antivirus products along with VMware

TL;DR

In Avast Settings, troubleshooting you should uncheck the "Enable hardware-assisted virtualization" feature.

In AVG Settings, troubleshooting, uncheck "Enable hardware-assisted virtualization" feature.

Note that you will have to reboot to apply the change and make it permanent.

If you are running BitDefender 2017 at the host then the only solution that I am aware about is to uninstall and revert to an older version of BitDefender.
