Hello like the title already sad any windows VM I try to set up is extremely slow a windows 7 install took 2h and windows 10 took so long that a had to force stop the VM.

Also inside the already installed win 7 everything is very slow it took 1 min to open the CMD.

 

The VM had 10C/20T, 16GB RAM, 100G storage.

 

Server Specs:

RAM: 512Gb

CPU: 8x 10C XEON E7-4870 2,4GHZ 

SSD: PCIE SSD 1TB (3GB/s read and write)

@eduardschlegel Where is your 100G vdisk file located? On the array, a cache drive or an unassigned device?

it is on auto

How is your share for the VM storage path configured? "Use cache disk:" Yes? No? Prefer?

This are my entire VM settings

 

"How is your share for the VM storage path configured?"

I don't know where to find this configurations 

 

""Use cache disk:" Yes? No? Prefer?"

I don't have configured a cache disk.

As a test, reduce the cpu allocation to a single core and see how it runs.

Ok, so you don't use a cache drive and your NVME is part of the array. First of all, SSDs even if they work as an array drive are not recommended. Currently on unraid optimisations for SSD like trim aren't supported for array devices. Over time you will see perforance degradations. Check under the share tab and click on "compute" for your ISO share and for your "DOMAIN" share to check on which disk these shares are located. Is disk1 a RAID volume?

i all ready did this it did not help

Disk 1 is a SATA single SATA SSD Over a HP 410 Raid controller

but i already tried it only with the NVMe plugged in.

The majority of users using traditional hdd's for the array to store their files on and having the vdisk files for the VMs sitting on a cache drive/pool or on an unassigned SSD/NVME device. In your case I would remove the NVME from the array after you saved your files and either define it as cache device or leave it as an unassigned device, handled by the unassigned device plugin to store the vdisks on it. Or you can passthrough the whole NVME to a VM. 

I moved my NVMe Out of my Array and started it.

Now it is listed under "Unassigned Devices", but I can not select it as the v disk location.

 

I also tried to assign it as a cache device but it was looked in the TianoCore screen
