Windows 10 x64 pro host
Windows 7 x64 ultimate guest
Memory isn't an issue because if i allocate just one more core my whole OS and the guest slow to an absurd crawl when the windows 7 boot logo is starting
left it running for 2 hours and it was at a black screen when i got back
So i ended the process and set it to 1 core and voila it worked perfectly
Why can't I use more than 1 core without insane slowdowns?
I tried an ubuntu guest earlier and even setting that to 8 cores didn't bring a slowdown at all! not even a performance dip compared to 1 core or 8!
And i only have 4 real cores! What's the deal here with the windows 7??
I have a celeron j1900 quad core 2.42Ghz processor
4GB of ram and intel HD Graphics
(guest allocated 1024MB ram and 256mb graphics but changing those doesn't affect the slowdowns from using more than 1 core in the settings.
and I have the latest virtualbox 5.x version from the main download page. with extensionpack added. No usb 3.0 or 2.0 enabled.
might of posted in wrong section sorry. this might go in "VirtualBox on Windows Hosts"
