Very bad Video play performance in VM

Hi All.

Playing videos in my VM is working really really bad.The video(s) (full hd) suffers from a lot of lag, and plays totally not fluent (same for VLC as WMP).

Despite quite some internet searching I wasn't able to fix this problem.

Disabling the 'Accelerate 3D Graphics' improves the video play but still quite a lot lag remains.

HOST

Windows 10 64bit - VMware Workstation 14 Player

Intel Core i7-7600U CPU @2.80GHz - 16GB geheugen - 1TB SSD

Display adapters: NVIDIA GeForce 920MX & Intel(R) HD Graphics 620

VM

Windows 7 64bit

2 vcores

8192 MB RAM

Any ideas/thoughts how to fix this problem? in order to play videos fluently as is possible in my host.

Thanks in Advance!

Same.  Workstation 16.2, Windows 11 host/client.  Host is a laptop with Intel(R) iris (R) Xe  Graphics with Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 laptop GPU.  Youtube videos are completely unwatchable in the VM.  Smooth as silk in the host.
