I tested copying from the various disks on my box then used Crystal tools to check all my HDDs. I tried to copy MY virtual machine to one of the other USB HDDs attached to this machine and this is when I noticed that the copy was very slow so I cancelled the copy. Thanks all for all the suggestions and trying to help me with my issue.Īfter hrs of googling and trying all sorts of things which did not work I decided try one last thing. Is anyone else experiencing this problem or have suggestions ? I doubt this will affect VMware workstation and has anything to do with vmware being so slow. Anything I do in VMware workstation is extremely slow right from Uninstalled workstation 12, rebooted, re-installedĪll other things I do on my host have expected fast response time. disk defrag on C: (system did 7 passes) DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth Power on was brutally slow to get thru post and start loading windows. Right hand side window, much slower than before.

Took about 1 minute to show the settings on the I opened workstation pro and it took longer than usual to start. Windows update have been set to notify and let me choose when to install so I know it was not that. Checking windows system logs shows unexpected reboot but no reason. I came home from work one dayĪnd found that the Host had rebooted for some reason. Up until last week the AD VM mentioned above was working fine and so was windows. VM hardware version is Workstation 12x virtual machine.

Trying to run windows 2008 x86 guest - functional role AD Domain Controllerīridges Network Adapter - using same NIC as host, only 1 NIC in this hostĭisplay does not have accelerated 3d graphics enabled (Tried installing v15 - would not install, Workstation 15 did not like my i7 CPUs) (Tried installing v14 - my vm would not start up after install) (I also have another windows 10 host running workstation pro 14 which windows will not allow me to upgrade to 1903)

Windows would not allow me to update to 1903 because of my version on VMware Workstation I7 CPU 860 2.80 GHz, 4 cores, 8 logical processors HP compaq 8100 Elite Convertible mini-tower Anyone having performance problems running Workstation Pro on Windows 10 Pro ?
