Mouse and Keyboard suddenly go laggy/ super low fps

Post by Bug5532 »

Hi,
I've got a Catalina guest setup on a Windows 10 host. It seems to be working well, however after 1 -10 minutes the mouse will suddenly go super slow, like less than 1 FPS. The guest is still running at a reasonable frame rate, I can see loading wheels etc updating fine, it's just the mouse that suddenly becomes unusable. It also affects the keyboard inputs, buttons will stay held down so typeing becomes impossible.
I've attached a log when this happened after about 1 minute. If anyone has any ideas what could be causing this that would be great to hear!

I recently made the "OSX guests on non-Apple hardware" a Global post, which means it shows as first on every forum area, makes me wonder how come you missed it... :roll:

Also, consider changing your favorite internet search engine. There should be plenty of results about this issue on these forums (all of them locked, hoping that someone will get the hint), but the search engine you're using now, does not seem to return any results for some reason.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
