Turns out my VM was just bad. After rebuilding from scratch everything including the CPU usage and idle was operating smoothly. Running on 6.9.2. Have you tried a fresh rebuild of the VM? I also disabled system updates and just have whatever came on the Windows 10 image. Could possibly be a Microsoft update.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm also having difficulty. I can select my HBA from the list of PCI devices in my VM. However, when it starts, the VM is rendered inoperable. When its removed, the VM starts up just fine. Thought I may need to flash the HBA to IT mode. Its an LSI MegaRAID 9280-e. Any suggestions would help!

Upgraded to 6.9.2 and noticed my Windows VMs, Linux is fine, despite gpu pass through, operate very sluggishly. The CPUs pinned also run at high cores. They are fine at idle. I'm not sure what could be causing it. I also created a new VM with no luck.Swapped hardware and experience the same issue. Anyone else experience this?

I'm also experiencing high, constant CPU usage from 6.9.2 only when a VM is booted, which is causing it to run sluggishly slow. I attempted to downgrade to 6.8.3 from the Unraid Boot media and transfer my config folder over. However, I can't seem to get a ping response from the gateway using 6.8.3. I've also ensured I have manually set the network settings within the network.cfg file with no luck. However if I transfer the brz* files from any 6.9.* version, the system is then pingable and I'm able to login to the console. Any ideas? The original issue I'm experiencing is found in this thread. Thanks!
