Hello,
Is anyone else experiencing high CPU usage on the host from an idling Windows 10 VM (version 20H2)? I am currently on 6.9 RC2, but I have been experiencing this throughout the 6.9 betas. No matter what I do, my CPU usage from my Windows 10 VM is approximately 15% overall load, with some cores being as high as 40%. I have tried different machine types, different versions, with Hyper V, without Hyper V, etc, but I can't get the CPU usage to be lower. When I shutdown the VM, my CPU usage is 1% to 2%. Previously, under 6.8.3, my CPU usage was approx. 3%.
Here is my current XML and my diagnostics are attached:
