Windows 10 VM poor performance, 100% CPU after 6.9 upgrade
Just upgraded to 6.9 yesterday and noticed that the CPUs pinned to my Windows 10 VMs are pegged at 100%. Also, performance inside the Windows VM is horrible (slow spinning logon animation, 30 seconds to open Windows explorer, generally sluggish). Performance on these VMs was excellent in version 6.8.3, it was difficult to tell I was even using a VM through RDP.
The two VMs in question are called "hcp" and "media". I created "media2" after the 6.9 upgrade to see if I could find any
Hi all. I had this problem too after upgrading to 6.9 this week. My Win10 VM and even unRAID itself were running dog slow. System Interrupts was using 100% CPU in Windows.
For me what worked was changing a setting in the "Tips and Tweaks" plugin. I had "CPU Scaling Governor:" set to "Power Save", which I think is the default for Intel CPU. Changed it to "On Demand", and now my VM and unRAID are running much better.
Disclaimer: I don't understand much of that, but it seems to work. Mayb
