Very slow Windows 10

Post by StefanV »

Hey all,

Somehow my Windows 10 guest runs very slow. I did try to go through other threads but I did not find the solution yet.

Thank you,
Stefan

I suggest you look in the OS X Hosts forum, in fact I'll move your topic there as well.

Performance wise, you're running Windows 10 64bit on one core, which is always going to be a nightmare. You have a 4 core host, you can afford 2 for the VM.

Also, a VM running with a HiDPI display size, and without 3D acceleration, is asking a lot. You might want to try a scale mode.

You should eject the VBoxGuestAdditions ISO: this gets changed in every update, so having the old copy bound to VMs can cause problems.
