Re: Windows Guests very slow on Monterey Host
I've already done this test without success: the problem occurs with whatever resolution.fth0 wrote:From my own experience, your "initial point" is already a high demand for VirtualBox on a macOS host with a Retina display. To make sure that the perceived slowness really depends on the graphics, please do the following for a test: Set the Scale Factor to 100%, knowing that it gets difficult to read, and use a small window like 1920x1080 or even 1600x900 or even smaller. Do the problems still occur then?
Anyway, using VB with 1920x1080 on a 5120x2880 screen is not a valid use case for me.
Thanks for your concern anyway.

@J Chin
Thanks for sharing experience.
I think I already tried this combination unsuccessfully, however I've done so many trial and errors over the past 6 months that I can give it another try and report back.

No chance for me, exact same behavior as withJ Chin wrote:I have been experiencing the same issues. My previous workaround was to use low resolution mode, but it has since been removed in macOS 12.4
Today, I found the following settings that seems to improve my virtual Win 10.
1. Virtualscreen 1 @ 100%
2. Inside the virtual Windows: Display Settings > Scale and Layout > 200%
I'm still testing it out, but for now but it seems to be improved a lot judging from my mouse cursor movement.

Re: Windows Guests very slow on Monterey Host
Hi FoxInCloud,
Yes I can also confirm it's the same. Doesn't seem to work, unfortunately.
I've also tried running Windows 11 but it appears to be slow like Windows 10 as well.
However, both Windows 10 and 11 runs smoothly if I output my display to a HD monitor (1920 x 1080). So could this be a graphic card issue?
Some points to note:
1) Windows XP (yes I still have it) is running very smoothly.
2) I also tried running Parallels (Windows 10 from my Bootcamp) and it doesn't run slow too
