W10 VM Performance Lackluster

Featured Replies

Hi all. I've been using my W10 VM for about two years now, and it's always felt...laggy. I access the VM with RDP, and both remote and locally, things tend to get choppy a lot, especially when I'm using stock charting programs. The 2D graphics sometimes lag, and other times, it's input, or processing latency. I was hoping that someone could take a look at my configuration and see if there is any room for improvements. I am absolutely open to all suggestions. I can provide any information or test/benchmark results if needed! Thank you very much in advance!
