I am not sure when this began but yesterday when running some windows updates on some of my Windows VMs, I noticed that when a user is logged into windows (same issue with both windows VMs) and not connected, meaning I RDP'd in and closed the window leaving a user logged into windows, it will peg out one of my cores to max and stay there (seen in my dashboard view). It's not always the same core, it hops around but always pegs one out to 100%. If i reconnect the RDP session, the problem vanishes immediately every single time. But immediately pegs a random core out just seconds after disconnecting. If i boot the VM and never login to windows, it doesnt happen. Anyone have idea on how to trouble shoot this?
First thing I thought was some app that I had installed, but my VMs are very slim and dont have much at all installed. From my own troubleshooting it doesnt appear to be related to installed software in the VMs, at least not that I can tell.
This is not so bad I know.. but I would like to avoid any needless wear and tear on my hardware.
Any help is appreciated.
