Virtualbox VM Slows down the host
Posted: 16. Jun 2021, 19:19
Few versions of Virtuabox ago everything was rather beautiful and work.
In few recent installations the host Windows becomes very very slow.
I am new to the forum and not sure what information would be useful to provide but I will try to get it if someone describes what info is needed to diagnoze.
Here is what is happening.
I have Windows 10 Professional Host with 16GB memory, 4CPU 128 MB video memory
Installed latest ubunut 20.4
Allocated 7GB, 1 CPU, 32 video memory to VM.
VM starts stops fine and overall works.
After some time though applications running on the host start striving or memory. Slack, Chrome, Outlook all freezes.
This started happening a few months ago with some new version of virtualbox by now it is hard to track which one.
I tried all the settings, lowering memory allocation to VM. Nothing helps.
I used to run windows 10 with 16GM memory and 9GM given to VM and 2 out 4 CPUs given to VM. Everything was OK.
Wondering if someone faced this issue.
Thank you for help.
